Each phone ping, like, comment, reply, follow is a dopamine shot.

You know what else gives people dopamine shot? The next piece of chocolate cake, the cigarette that's always overdue, having the drink after long day of work, finally being able to hit the bong and so on.

"Social media" is as much of an addiction on a biological level as drugs. We know that prohibition doesn't work.

We should start with helping people find ways to feed their (dopamine) reward system with more meaningful stuff. Help accomplish them small and bigger things, promote real human interaction.
