I think those people would be equally addicted, anxious or inept on a 'healthy' platform, if such a thing could exist. Short of net-nannying every taxpaying American, there's no real way to stop people from hurting themselves with technology. It's entirely fair to say "not my problem" to something like this, what you're largely describing are self-enabled behavior loops. You want the real blackpill? The back-shelf, hidden box with an expiry of 'sometime soon' pill? There's no way to reconcile what everyone wants with a single platform, product or set of laws. Twitter flew on the borrowed wings of RSS and regular blogging, serial-killing every syndication platform it could find to sustain the business of information. It's the "solution" to our current problem, except it's got a history of being owned by despots and is struggling to turn a dime in a slight recession. What Elon Musk did was a more extremist version of what Dorsey would be forced to do someday, which is why Jack and his shareholders folded. In my opinion, what's happening right now is the inevitable curtain fall. The emperor is plainly naked, and we're still running articles about his new clothes.
