Those apps are designed to keep users logged in and hooked. It’s why I only use them for communication and information, and I haven’t touched TikTok due to where its HQ originates. The only one I use is Reddit, and it’s either for trade in gaming or advice regarding my truck (there’s a subreddit for my make and model of vehicle).

Rarely I touch Facebook. Maybe a few times a year, particularly around ACen. Its use is mandatory. -eye roll- We used to have Slack, but not anymore.

Til tok is highly effective at creating dopamine surges. Dopamine is the addiction neuro chemical. As metmom says above — and she is correct — the plug in drug.

Social masturbation sites:
The opiate of millennials and gen-Z.

Addictive? It is repulsive.

“...the ultra-addictive app...”

Maybe to a child or a mental retard or writers at the Daily Mail. /spit

“Addictive” BS. There is no physical impact aside your imagined ego boost when a complete stranger agrees with you. Geesh, get a dog.

“Addictive” is the excuse when some whiny arshed loser does not want to grow up.

Tiktok algorithm knows what you like. If you like cat videos. You’ll get mostly cat videos and that’ll keep you hooked.
