So, how many person hours are wasted annually, playing Candy Crush type games? [View all]

Been on Tubi watching spooks and there are a lot of phone games being promoted. I wonder how many people spend hours?/day playing games on their phone? Say 30MM gamers averaging an hour per day x 365 days. That's a lot of wasted time yet it does keep that person from confronting reality.

Same with on-line sports betting. Not only do you lose money, but you give up your mind to chase winning bet strategies.
