Gamification can provide value. Stack overflow is all about addiction and value. The blog title was manipulative in its hyperbole, btw.

- ben_w 9y agoI wouldn’t call stackoverflow addictive - if anything I use it too little! - but I do have that problem with some of the linked network sites on stackexchange. “Why yes, who would win in a fight between Aquaman and The Flash is more interesting than why the third argument of the ExampleFooAPI constructor doesn’t behave itself!” (I’m glad adblock lets me hide that block. Really helped me avoid those distractions).
