And there are so many things you could do even just on your phone than mindless, objectively bad for your mental health shit like tiktok style content. Watch actual videos about interesting, cool and/or fun things, play a game, talk with a friend etc.

TikTok DOES have videos of interesting, cool, fun, and even educational things. If the algorithm has you on garbage, it's because of what you watch.
