I dunno about fortnite and Roblox - my knowledge of my family's teenagers says that all of them play fortnite, most of them used roblox in the past, but none of them get caught up in the equivalent of "doomscrolling" that the other platforms[1] in that list have.
I'm not convinced that they are as addictive as the rest of the items on that list.

Even if AAA video games like Fortnite can be addictive, you are limited in when you can realistically engage in them (at a computer, focused). Whereas social media can be ever present. This is why I don't mind buying my kids an xBox that's in the living room whereas I'm very concerned about a phone in their pocket.
