>beyond addictive No, it's not addictive. That word has a meaning and it does not apply to this context. The DSM V has addressed the "social media" and "video game" concepts re: addiction with committees multiple times and every time it's very clear from the science: there is no addiction. And no, personal anecdotes do not overturn this. You might use the word "disorder" like the DSM V's grandfathered in "gambling disorder". But it is not an addiction. The idea of "addiction" in the context of stimuli from screens and speakers is a meme with no more basis than slenderman. Huge popular awareness but completely made up.
