screen time inflation

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.
