PLAUSIBLE. No single public source independently reports the exact "122 million additional hours" aggregate figure; this likely comes from Ball's proprietary analysis of eMarketer data (users x time-per-user across all social platforms). The claim is directionally supported: US social media usage per person has increased, and at ~21 min/day additional across 341M people, the 122M figure is arithmetically consistent. The growth in TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels supports the directional trend.
