>Certain social media platforms like Instagram or TikTok seem entirely designed to try to get their users to pursue building a following and attach their happiness to that. Some unfortunate people end up having all the joy of traveling and meeting new people robbed from them as a result. They know that "experiences" are better for happiness than possessions, but somehow the result is a bastardized version the actual experience.

Yeah, not surprised. Talked to a neuroeconomic PHD friend once, and he said social media FB definitely putting in a lot money in R&D to make their product as additive as possible.

Remember in the 90's when everyone thought Bill Gates was terrible and now everyone views have tempered to view Bill as a really smart savvy businessman.

I don't think the same fate is in store for Zuck. I believe history will judge him harshly. Mostly because he's damaging children more than anyone else.

I can confirm this anecdotally. If I don't open Instagram for a day, I'll always get a push notification prompting me to see some of the stories my friends have posted. Like clockwork.

A claim that surely takes a neuroeconomic PhD to make !
