The article is written by someone who regards their habit as a problem, and, without knowing anything about it, you try to minimize it. "Why quit smoking? If you're smoking this much, it must bring you great joy!" You don't seem to understand how addiction works. The fact that it's not scientifically proven that compulsive browsing is harmful was explicitly addressed in the article. That's a problem. In my opinion, the biggest problem with compulsive browsing is that you give up a proactive design of your own free time. You hand over all decisions to the algorithms. The only decision left is whether or not to open up a thumbnail. It's a slot machine, it's gambling. For a laugh, for entertainment, for the next dopamine hit. "Why quit gambling? It's only a couple minutes every night, and you have so many minutes left."
