Crazy, isn't it?
Social media's always been addictive, but the extent of what that's done to us over the past 15 or so years won't be clear for a while.
It's one of the reasons I didn't get into the world of web development. It's been deliberately, specifically, scientifically designed to create systems which are habit forming and revenue centric.

One can only hope to rewire brain circutry to draw dopamine from the thrill of exploration down here in geminispace
90% of the internet activity is bots.\

Damn, the internet is BORING once you've deleted the psychologically addictive social media. I might actually have to study or read or go outside or something. /g
