Well sure; if the tradeoff is worth it for them, then they _shouldn't_ be doing it less. I'm pretty happy with the amount of junk food I eat and drugs that I do and screen time I have, because IMO the benefits outweigh the costs. It's possible for people to be bad at calculating these costs, but that doesn't require a motivated third party and is not what we're discussing here. This thread is about algorithms exploiting weakness to make you do things you think are bad.
