Hmm, at first I thought your comment was just a low effort post but upon thinking about what the quote was trying to say and to then see immediately the problem they were pointing out. Poetic
Amazing to say something like "I dislike moral panics" to "Im pretty sure the issue is actually wokeness" in one paragraph. Author needs to keep introspecting, good job challenging your self on one idea atleast.
Wokeness is moral panic. We must root out whiteness around every corner.

I think its mostly loneliness. I see groups af girls just watching their phones together. Parents looking at their phones while the child is trying to get attention. It's the fakeness of it all.
The things you name the reasons why the social media is addictive. Not why it is harmful.
