Right, I completely understand where you're coming from. I'd like to think that there'll be a paradigm shift in consumer wants to steer away from disruptive technology, that consumers will become punitive towards time-sink apps that consequently lower the morale of its users (Facebook, Instagram, etc) despite the initial rush, and instead value apps/services that increase productivity and efficiency. It's really hard to grayscale 'addicting' apps with a negative connotation as Facebook is arguably trying to present more useful information, carefully personalized from user info via its hoard of data scientists, Twitter arguably made the world a better place by distributing news faster, and so on. I am however really glad that articles like these are coming out, and the general ethic concern of companies targeting human psychological venerabilities becoming more exposed since more educated consumers will drive, through demand, 'better' product (by whichever metric you use).
