Guess HN needs to banned then. Their news feed is designed to exploit my need for novelty and it works. I'm here far more than I should be. I guess I should expect the government to regulate HN to save me from it's exploitative patterns

I don't see it to be honest. The website is plain and simple, downvotes are capped, the scores are not visible. I spent significantly less time here than on other forms of social media, and I never feel glued to the website.

What part of the HN design appears to you exploitative? It's much more like an old school web forum than a gamified social website.

Scores are visible, on your own posts, and total karma next to your name. I could do without, tbh.
