1) How can a business model be created whose incentives align with their customers in the addiction-treatment market? Curing addicts permanently means losing customers. Ineffective treatment could mean repeat customers and therefore more business. How do existing rehab centers handle this conflict of interests?
2) Personal Anecdote. There's no way I can stop using the internet right now and keep my livelihood, but I've had some success over the last week cutting my reddit usage down to 0 non-productive minutes.
Every time I navigate to reddit, unless it is very explicitly work-related, I close the tab immediately and log the incident in a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet records date, time, duration, how I got there, and (most importantly) what I'm going to work on instead.
This is my second time quitting reddit. The first time was cold-turkey with no process, lasted over a year before I got sucked back in via the subreddits. This method gives me more a feeling of control and forces me to be mindful of my usage.
Wish me luck.
