My small good thing is that I have been logging off of social media Monday - Friday to wonderful effects so far. I've managed to avoid a good bit of the January advertising onslaught this way, but I guess as your experience belies, it cannot be avoided in tangible form either!
I graduated high school in 2009, and around 26 or so is when I started feeling like I had aged out of being 'young' - not quite old, but, well. Welcome.
I deleted Twitter a while back, and it really helpful for me—I had started to become a little too reactive, like the gap between thinking and response had totally atrophied. I admire your full week away! I should try that.
