Reading some comments I don’t know whether some use fallacious arguments deliberately or are simply incapable of logical reasoning.
I don't use any social media (except HN ~once a week) and every time I suggest a person they try stopping social media it's either a quiet "Yeah I know it's not good but I can't stop" or defending the "fun" and supposed virtues of doomscrolling with great fervor.

I think it's this latter camp of people. It triggers them as if you threatened to take away his candy from a child.

It's difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it.

Way too many working in/adjacent to the advertising or the doomscrolling industry here.
