> Now I realize Fitbits are great for extremely unhealthy or lazy people. But those of us who been working out without any devices should stay away from any such devices. And not change your workout routines. Definitely this. All these "gamification" of everyday activities are pretty gimmicky imo and I'm glad I've always stayed away from these toys |

... and I would bet that dopamine addiction makes you extremely unhealthy, because you chase the satisfaction through your day: One more series, one more 9gag/facebook/HN page, one more cookie. Society rewards mental strength a lot: If you are so strong that you can clear your life from unnecessary immediate satisfactions, you'll be filled with time with friends, you'll be more focussed at work, you'll dominate situations, you'll love yourself.
If this interpretation were to be correct, then gamified apps/gamified fitness/rewards on a screen are harming your mental strength, which harms your fitness.
