Honestly I think that in the long view of history, “engagement optimization” etc. will end up being seen in approximately the same light as nicotine and/or gambling. Based on how the narrative is shifting right now I could see it being something like big tobacco, but since the harm is less material I think long-term it may be more like gambling, in that these practices are allowed but have to be labeled with counseling and addiction support hotlines etc. and aren’t allowed for minors under 18.
