Repost because of HN’s over-aggressive censorship (m-bation is abbreviated no-no word): Social media is just psychological m-bation via marketing tactics. Maybe if we called it m-bation people would stop aggressively ignoring the negative effects from habitual use. On the other hand no one openly discusses physical m-bation, just as no one discusses their online identity they’ve cultivated. Get a hobby, gain a skill.
