do kids just have extremely high dopamine levels
i remember being fervently motivated to improve at video games when i was 12-18yrs old and I had a garbage lifestyle and low T
now my lifestyle is really healthy and i have a fraction of the motivation to do anything

>do kids just have extremely high dopamine levels
No they just used to have normal dopamine levels. Now you and also young kids today just have low dopamine, below normal level.
Doing extremely high dopamine activities frequently lowers the baseline dopamine levels. Once you're done with said "high dopamine" activity, your dopamine crashes below baseline. Just like Roid users testosterone levels crash below the baseline once they stop using roids.
So you as well as young kids have no motivation to do much outside of extremely high dopamine activities anymore (e.g. tiktok, youtube, porn, drugs etc.) because their dopamine levels are already way below baseline for low dopamine activities, which are the ones that are inherently useful in life. If they were normal, which would be the case if they weren't so frequently engaged in such dopaminergic activities, they would have normal motivation for normal activities.
Video games are already a high dopamine activity, so your being motivated to do then wasn't just because of your age. Dopamine isn't just "le pleasure chemical". It is a motivation chemical. Your brain chemistry was precisely fucked up by video games and other activities like it, and you likely had little motivation to do other useful things like studying.
People will always have a lot of motivation for high dopamine activities, just like a crackhead has high motivation to obtain crack, but not much else. How fucked up your dopamine levels are better indicated by your motivation to do low dopamine stuff. You were always fucked up.

4chan isn't social media, it's the furthest thing from it as it's anonymous.

Can't relate because I only had an old computer at those ages so I couldn't game that much, but I can tell you people become more blackpilled as they get older and realize their life is going to be average at best.
Until about 20 I had delusions of being a millionaire and having a hot girlfriend and all that. Then I became an incel NEET until my mid 20s.
