The phenomenon where you want to be able to have more and more screen time whilst still having screen time limits imposed by parents remain equally strict. This is mainly caused by constantly subscribing to new YouTube channels, which does not show maturity in limiting your own screen time. Rather, it tells the YouTube algorithm that you're willing to have more hours of YouTube per day even though you may "only" do this as a mere digital form of "tipping". It's akin to the akcual inflation, where prices and cost of living increases significantly whilst your wage remains equally low.
Ever since Jamie started subscribing to all those YouTube channels, his screen time inflation has skyrocketed; he wants to watch more videos but still has to stick to the equally strict limits set by his parents.

A person who grows up with screen time limits for YouTube imposed by parents, but the same person doesn't want to impose the same screen time limits on their own future children. Persons like this are usually born from the first generation to grow up with YouTube, i.e. Generation Z (born 1997~2012).
As a screen time rebel, I remember how strict my parents were about YouTube, but I want my kids to explore and enjoy content freely, just like I wish I could have.
