Sorry no, there have been several studies about the negative mental health impacts of always on social media life in teens but you just like muddying the waters so you pretend it's anyone's game and give a backhand at the end of your drivel.

Pretty sophisticated but still just forum sliding bullshit.

Edit: ITT people butthurt about being called out on their toxic social media habits

I haven't come across these, but I don't deny their existence. I just wrote down what I've come across myself. I already agreed with you on this point.

I'm sorry that you feel that way. But as you demonstrated just now, you are not interested in engaging in good faith. You are still stuck on the "social media bad" train, when I already agreed with you on that. This is exactly what I mean by mudslinging. People just want to repeat certain phrases again and again, progressively louder and louder while vomiting ad hominems left and right.

It isn't "forum sliding" if the topic is indeed that complex. But as I stated before, you are not ready to move on from "social media bad". Hence, how can one engage in good faith in such a scenario?
