It's the constant easily obtained dopamine hits that are the problem. Porn and social media are exactly the same in that regard.

I remember writing much the same in a letter to the editor back in the late 90s, while I was still at school[0]. Only difference is, I was pointing out how weird it was that 16-year-old-me was banned by law from seeing acts that I was allowed to perform[0] while at the same time outright homicide was a thing that sometimes got included in cartoons specifically deemed suitable for young children. [0] the UK age of consent is 16 but the age to go into adult shops or see adult films is 18… or at least it was when I was 16 myself, I've had no reason to check if it still is or not.
