There's an incredible cultural contempt for social media, everyone recognizes the harms, but we collectively spend more and more time on social media apps.

Wat mean?

It means it's addictive

When I have true contempt for something, I find in quite easy to quit.

There are things I am likely addicted to that I don’t like. I wish I didn’t do them and could stop, but I don’t have contempt for them. I have contempt for social media and even tell my own mother I won’t join when she tells me it would make her so happy if I was on Facebook.

Alternatively, it may mean that people are largely hypocritical, and evaluate themselves and other people by different standards.

Ask yourself the same question but replace "social media" with "tobacco"

That seems like a bizarre comparison. Is TikTok high in nicotine?

Have you ever tried quitting smoking?

Easy. I've done it five times in the last three years alone.
