I spend far more time scrolling HN than I do on social media or on my phone. I have an HN problem, and no social media problem. Yet, HN has zero "engagement engineering" put into it.
And why is this? Because chose to start browsing HN, and I chose to not spend time on social media. My addiction is a product of my own choices, and nobody else's.
If you can show me that the majority of people addicted to social media and/or their phones were forced to use them, then that's involuntary. Otherwise, by definition, they voluntarily decided to use whatever social media app they're captured by.
