There's a night and day difference between this platform and recommendation engines like IG, FB or TikTok. And there's even a larger difference in effects.

The only reason I keep HN is because of the amount of quality-content related to my tech career.

Those platforms are worse but I don’t believe HN is any better in quality, just quantity. It’s a web forum linking to online content, it holds the same pitfalls for addictive behavior.

No it doesn't, you're trying to stretch the notion that anything can be addictive with products designed to be addictive and distracting 24/7.

Also, the amount of fresh content on HN is way too low. Can't be compared even to old reddit.
