Maybe I'm just old, but I traveled by plane recently (I don't fly very often) and seeing everyone around me mindlessly scrolling short-form video content was shocking. Looked identical to the people in the space ship in WALL-E.
Dude, it's the airport. It's boring as fuck.
The way you write tells me you are young.
The older you get (and having a family of your own) the more you enjoy the quiet moments, just like the ones when you sit in an airport, waiting for the plane.
It's really feels like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders.
I'm 37 with 2 kids. Sometimes I watch short form videos to kill time when bored. I'm aware of the fact that it's not great for me. I also drink too much caffeine.
