I love the "came back wrong" trope but from the opposite side.
Imagine you are dead. And then you are RIPPED from the embrace of decay into the world of the living again. Your memories are hazy and you don't recognize any of these people, but they act like they're close to you? Like they love you? So you try to get your memories back, to act like you belong here, but everybody tries to forget you died. And you can't. It is omnipresent. And just trying to grapple with that fact pushes the people who "love" you away, and they're incapable of understanding, and they're so confused, what's wrong N̶̄̀O̶͛͗T̷̉́ ̷͋͝Y̴̎̌Ȍ̴̈U̸̓R NÄM̴̃͑E̵̾̇? And you just need them to understand, you aren't that person! You aren't! You don't know who that person is! You don't know why any of this is happening, but they're unwilling to bend, they keep insisting you are that person, your memories will come back, everything will be normal again, and you want to scream and cry and claw yourself open to show them you're different. Your existence as a being wholly separate from whoever you "used to be" is a sin unto itself. All you can do is scrabble for life and to them, you're killing whoever they loved to do it.
just. lots of fun in that concept, you know?

HP Lovecraft.
The guy was so, so racist and classist, but in some ways he could be incredibly sharp and insightful. I find his work fascinating to read because he had a way of catching things that a lot of people just didn't, and because at times he could be extremely funny (on purpose!), and you can tell he had a genuine sense of awe and wonder about the world.
Like, I think we can all agree that HP Lovecraft was pretty damn horrible in a lot of ways. But even he was a complicated person who was capable of doing good things in his art.
to pretend that horrible people cannot make good art is another way to conflate beauty and talent with integrity and morality. the works of monsters are best examined with knowledge of the author in mind but art is not inherently reflective. human beings are creative, and habitual liars- it'd be stupid to pretend art must always be a portrait of its creator

someone on this thread has piss-poor reading comprehension, and it isn't sarah.
i agree with your points, and i also think the loss of third spaces plays a part in this.
i think we need to distinguish between solitary consumption of media and group consumption, however. i think there's a big difference between watching videos with friends and watching videos on your lonesome. when people watch tiktoks or youtube videos with their friends, they're typically talking about it, creating inside jokes (not exactly the same, but my friend and i love to read XKCD comics together, and we frequently joke with each other about our favorites, like saying "yikes" when someone sneezes in reference to the dialect quiz comic), and laughing together, which you don't get on your own. not that passively scrolling short-form content with other people is good, but it's (in my opinion) substantially less detrimental than doing that without the socializing.
The "kids are on their damn phones all the time" conversation has changed in an extremely significant way and I'm not sure people realize it. When kids had flip phones, and even in the early days of smartphones, kids were using their phones to text each other. It was part of an active social life. Now they're using their phones more and more to consume content from influencers or other accounts. It's more passive and it's increasingly what people are doing instead of socializing with each other. This applies to adults too, I just keep thinking about high school students.
