Yes I am not disputing single individuals. Despite Tiktok and Youtube shorts, plenty are still able to pick good habits. Still the majority could be affected, that was my point. So that it is not that smart people won't be there, rather the global average will be affected. I mean for the simple reason that social media could eat up a ton of time, and part of it could have been spent in better ways. Take 30 minutes away from lifelong learning every week, it adds up over time. And to clarify, social media could be great, example: plenty of good youtube channels, good subreddits, good facebook groups, good forums, etc... ; but the trending things do not seem that helpful.

But yes, without long time studies it is just speculation.
