It's probably because it's harder to draw a line between normal and unhealthy internet usage, and it overall isn't as stigmatized as say, a social media or gaming addiction. You can imagine a very clear stereotype of those people and it's effects. Personally, I'm absolutely ashamed of it, and that's probably why not many people talk about it? Earlier this week, I was working on a personal project and after writing like 5 lines of code, I would instinctively open reddit and see the same posts I had already read. This probably happened like 10 times until I actually thought about what I was doing, and I felt absolutely pathetic, like my brain was just a zombie. It just feels like such a... stupid thing to have problems with.
