There is another factor though which is loss of non internet options. I would say for example that before 2010 I could live completely off the net. I could do pretty much everything by mail or in person or over the phone. post 2020 this is nearly impossible. I myself am trying to only utilize companies with offices where I can talk to people in person and on the phone but I find companies are attempting to run those offices with people who are the equivalent with first line phone support. And that is for the very small subset that have physical locations. Hours of operation are much more limited as well. Phone is generally equally degraded. Basically even if using the internet is horrible for you it is becoming a requirement to get by in life such that it would appear positive. For those who don't quite get what im saying is lets say you have to take some methadone every time you have to do anything business related. A very small amount. Incredibly small but of course you will be doing it often. Then follow it up with a study on how beneficial taking opioids are for people.
