This examination reveals a striking asymmetry between these digital phenomena. Minecraft, the humble block-building game, consistently delivers upon its promises of entertainment, stress relief, and creative satisfaction. Social Media, despite its unprecedented scale and cultural penetration, leaves users statistically worse off psychologically than it found them. The platforms compete for the same finite resource - human attention - yet they metabolise it entirely differently. Minecraft transforms time into tangible digital creation; Social Media converts it into engagement metrics and advertiser revenue. Both have fundamentally shaped modern existence, but only one does so without extracting a psychological toll. By a margin of 58 to 42, the blocky realms of Minecraft triumph.
