Is that where the downvotes come from? People feeling criticized? If so, please criticize me. I feel weak spending time on LinkedIn or on my smartphone for that matter. I’m disgusted by my weakness when I see my weekly iOS screentime report. The struggle is real, help me make myself a better human. Criticize me.

Well if you're being serious and truly feel bad about yourself for a habit it would be better to talk to a friend, family member, or therapist to get support for changing the habit. Linkedin is worthless but no one should be made to feel bad for using a web site or for playing games.

I think you should. We make people feel bad for fleeing into drugs right? For gambling? We tell our kids it's bad.

But it's ok to get the same hits from a website that does everything in its power to keep your eyeballs glued to it? Like a slotmachine keeps you pulling that lever? Like heroine keeps you hunting for that next hit?

We're better off without it. We're better off telling each other it's bad.

You can recognize a bad behavior but berating someone or yourself for it isn't the best foundation for making positive change.
