I'm not sure 'tech' is similar enough then and now. The main concern I have relates to professions made around optimizing engagement. Full-on studies leading to behavioral adjustment things. The most immediate example I have: "infinite scrolling" to keep you lost in the feed. The early internet was finite by comparison. There were some nuggets, but mostly trash. This encouraged creation or simply walking away when you've seen enough. This has flipped. There was a bit of effort to pump the IV, not a constant drip. Heck, remember link sites? Many people created their first internet contribution by simply listing things they thought were neat. The link sites had the unintended effect of making the pile to search through bigger, too. There was a certain nature to it that encouraged limitation where we do the exact opposite now. All that to say - I think your difficulties are warranted. Focusing on the service may be a mistake. Exposure comes, having guidance helps of course Trade the pastime for substances. I don't worry about mushrooms being abused nearly as much as even alcohol. Oddly, self-regulation. We live in a time of so much excess that people make a living by extracting attention/trying to convert it to money... for their employer. Not a lot. A tiny bit they never actually see.
