Yes all the social medias are addiction merchants. The people know full well that they sacrifice their data, but they do not care about that or ads.
The people use them for gratification about likes and as a platform to be "heard" or voice their opinions.
Society is punishing drug users and vendors, which might be the right thing to do or not, I am not a decision maker.
But the addiction should be measured in dopamine emissions and withdrawal symptoms. Does not matter if the product is a recreational drug or a virtual saas. Do not let the addiction merchant hide behind marketing terms like social media.
The corporations use social to tick a compliance box and mislead the customers. To make it sound harmless or less dangerous. Similar to vegan, bio labeled food.
Social media is targeting the most vulnerable and young.
Sounds drastic? I do not think so
- jraph 6y ago> Similar to vegan, bio labeled food. What's with organic vegan food? It wrongly looks harmless? It targets most vulnerable and young? Vegan and organic are criteria/characteristics, not things meant to be addictive. It's not similar. Sure, they can be highlighted for marketing purposes, but what characteristic seen as positive can't?
