I don't think people want to. People want to be successful, want to have good relationships, want to have fun, want to be entertained. I don't think people want to endlessly scroll for content, its not what people will say they set out to do. Some social media companies (and video game companies) figured out the dopamine feedback loop (probably via hiring psychologists) and have engineered that into their systems to keep suggesting content that feeds your emotions and keeps you on their platform looking at advertisements. Video games use it to keep you in a ever grinding loop to stay in their game like a hamster in a wheel and hope you don't realize you can leave at any time. People don't wake up and say "I want to waste 4 hours of my day watching stuff".
