I love this concept: "And so even if we don’t have the physical resources to learn a skill, we have the digital ones.
So why not make use of them instead of spending hours on social media? "

I myself have noticed I spend a lot of time on Tiktok, especially when I am waiting for something. But, sometimes just a few videos can turn into a half hour of watching content and afterwards I feel like only a small percentage of the videos were actually helpful for my life. So, in the past few months I started making videos to promote my business on Tiktok, instead of just consuming videos. Some of those videos have lead to sales of my candles and others inspired me to write blog posts here on HIVE. So, I think you are totally right that the apps can be a waste of time OR they can be a tool to lead to work opportunities, it all depends on how we use them.
