>sometimes i wonder why do i waste so much of time on internet
I enjoy my time on the internet and I treasure it as a tool for reaching new intellectual heights but not in a straightforward fashion. I speak two languages more than my own native one thanks to the time "wasted" on the internet shitposting on imageboards & forums, watching JP vtuber clips and anime, playing CRPGs or MMORPGs, etc... and that's just the one quantifiable metric I can offer, cause to me it's pretty clear I would be a worse, less polished version of myself if I hadn't spend so much time on the internet running in circles.
>not even doing productive work
>back to that unproductive and mindless pithole
What a tragic and servile mentality to think we are always meant to be productive to deserve enjoying our time on this Earth; guilt-tripping yourself back into the cog in the machine mindset to force yourself to become something you don't really want to be seems a terrible choice. That path will only lead to wearing you down, eroding your actual capability to be productive in the process.

I don't think OP is implying all time on the internet is wasted. Or that we are meant to always be productive.
Speaking personally, I think all of the time I spent gaming and "hanging out" in specific internet/gaming circles when I was younger was hugely valuable. I think some portion of the time I currently spend reading HN is valuable.
But there are absolutely times where I want to be doing something productive, to be accomplishing a task, but I mindlessly browse the internet instead.
