Getting blasted by/constantly engaging with tweets all day and endless scrolling on Instagram/TikTok/Facebook are just "things that people do" nowadays. I've seen countless couples on dates where they spend a great deal of their time using their phones instead of talking to each other, for example.
My inner curmudgeon remembers when my parents would scold me for spending all of my time on the computer when 56K was all the rage. I was mostly writing websites, looking at PC parts, and browsing Slashdot, mind, but spending all night after school doing it instead of hanging out with friends (that I didn't have or want; I was aggressively bullied back then) was abnormal and concerned them.
