"Dopaminergic effects" clearly means something along the lines of 'activity of dopamine within the human brain'. I just think we need more than an analogy to reach the conclusion that social media needs to be banned. The sentence "the dopaminergic effects of exercise are not dissimilar to drugs" is equally as true. Clearly dopaminergic effects alone aren't enough to ban something.

When I read that the top comment thought banning social media was clearly necessary I was flabbergasted. I read the comment multiple times looking for a compelling argument. I read the article multiple times looking for a compelling argument too. I'm still struggling on this.

I would really like to read a concise logical argument for why we should ban social media.

If you're interested in the topic, Jonathan Haidt has written a fair bit on this.

He's got a number of articles if you Google his name, and he's also appeared in a few podcasts (eg Lex Fridman's).
