The author is a well known "guru" of designing addictive loops in products. He used to run an event at Stanford called "How to Build Habit Forming Products".
His arguments are sound in this case, but likely only tell part of the story. Similarly however, I think the general narrative of "social media bad" also only tells part of the story.
- Test0129 4y agoI don't think social media in and of itself is dangerous. If people were doomscrolling math lectures society probably would be better off. It's the nature of social media and ad networks disguised as social media that is the problem. Scrolling through youtube these days I feel like even in the most mundane video I am being advertised to. YouTube shorts are insanely addictive brain melting videos. The action of scrolling itself is a reward and spacing lame videos with occasional gems will have people scrolling quite literally the entire day.
- chaosite 4y agoI think you're talking about the blog owner? This is a guest post a woman named Siri Helle.
- edmundsauto 4y agoAh yes, I missed that. I think the owner of the site is a reasonable callout given the topic.
