Gratitude and all those kind of positive mindset things are fine, and even essential. But ultimately one has to meet one's needs, and that's what you came across. Self-love is treating oneself as someone deserving of love, i.e. taking care of one's needs, both basic and advanced. And this very much means seriously reducing activities that are bad for you (like Internet/electronics) and replacing them with good ones. So you're right in your conclusions.

I would say at least 25, or when you are more or less self-sufficient or in a position to make life changes based on psychedelic insights. At best, psychedelics will offer greater self-knowledge, i.e. this is what's dysfunctional in my life and this is how I need to change it. And sure, spiritual insights can be a part of that, because how you view reality will have an impact on every aspect of your life. But you still have to make actual life changes in order to benefit. In short, psychedelics are not a magic bullet, but an aid, a tool to facilitate change.
