I'm guilty of this. I almost always have a podcast/youtube playing in the background. I can't help myself even though know it's selfish and ultimately really bad for society...
Same, at work if i'm not hearing my everyday-go-to playlist i cannot even focus in my work, i guess i might have some kind of ADHD, also social interactions really exhausts me

It's a struggle for sure. I do all kinds of experiments (search on stacker news for "digital detox").
I turned off podcasts for a period of about 4 months, and felt like it was a very productive time, I got some good projects done. Now I'm back on them (#1036132).
There are so many things that are addictive, and cause societal and personal problems. Perhaps now, more than at any other time in history?
