The difficulty of getting funding for such "research" is probably due to ethical concerns (regarding the methodology itself).

As for focusing on potential positives, I'd be surprised to see any studies focusing on the potential positives of gambling or doomscrolling.

Any arguments of "lack of evidence of harm" sounds a lot like what tobacco or asbestos companies used to claim not long ago.

Sex and sexual content interacts with the brain differently then addictive short form videos.
