Regardless of who the customer or product is, the actual thing is built with the capitalistic idea that more people = more money.

Hence everything is pretty much built to attract and keep people attracted for the most possible time.

Saying social media is different because of their ad-based sales model is a bit misleading. They're both essentially interested in addicting users to their product, regardless of their behavior afterwards.

I am not arguing that both are not trying to attract people to become addicted. I am arguing why one causes users to have suicidal thoughts and the motivation behind it. In your terms, because it brings in more money.
