All entertainment is just instant dopamine or placing yourself in another world.
In today's society we are all consumers.
There are even some hobbies where its just buying stuff like building pcs, or modding cars are just you doing something with excess money because you already have enough to live.
Then there's fictional media like videos or movies which are the ultimate dopamine per time invested. Its built around you getting made up characters rent free in your head so you feel emotionally manipulated by their actions. People then try to apply those same "concepts" to their IRL life like you said. They cope hard with their bluepilled hollywood views.
Video games are like you said an escape from this world because they are another world where you dont have to think about this one. For this reason, games like World of Warcraft are the ultimate escape. You can be a loser IRL but be amazing in game. This has the strongest appeal for those who cant be saved IRL, because real life was rigged against them.
Anything that isnt self-improvement(aka surgery, gym, social-skills, typing faster, etc.) is all a cope. Nothing else will actually impress people. Its why the majority of girls who think watching netflix is a personality is retarded. They are just consuming some form of media.
