The author makes some good points about the media not being scientifically rigorous, but really doesn't offer any evidence to support their claim that claims about tech addiction are wrong. In reality, all they are proving is that "some" claims are exaggerated or unsubstantiated. Cynically, this "guest post" was published on a blog by the guy who wrote the book "Hooked: How to Form Habit-Building Products". It's a brilliant book, and you can use the patterns in it to build good products, but a lot of the patterns in there underpin the foundation of many of the dark patterns we see in products today.
