      It’s because the time-to-dopamine and minimum time commitment are short.

          Anger can also give a dopamine hit

            Yeah I don’t know about y’all but I have plenty of family members who are addicted to being angry.

        The minimum time commitment is what gets me. I can have my phone out and social media open in seconds

          Making your phone more difficult to use is a good idea. Keep it in another room, enter a passcode manually, turn it off, etc.

          The real solution is for governments to ban addictive software development practices.

            Nah, the solution is getting rid of the phone. Even without carefully crafted software for maximum engagement, it’s way too easy to waste time on pointless shit online
