The same pattern is everywhere: addictive games, addictive food, addictive social-media content. It is really sad to see how society is driven by the monetization strategies of large companies.

I have a close friend who buried his depression under a pile of games built around these temporal reward loops. He’s not working and still living with his parents at 40.

Thank you for sharing this - awareness of these patterns needs to be spread.
