The difference is so obvious. I think the people who deny it either haven't seen the tech's impact on people or they are coping as an addict themself. It's totally the same as a good book you guys!!
My girlfriend and some friends are captivated by doomscrolling tiktok/insta. They'll do it and let hours pass if left undisturbed.
They can't watch TV or play games for hours because that gets boring and samey.
On the other hand, my girlfriend will aspire to play a game she bought or watch a show she wants to watch, but then get immediately sabotaged by instagram shorts because it's so much more stimulating.
- alt227 2y ago> It's totally the same as a good book you guys Its nothing like a book, however it is very similar to addiction on MMO games like World of warcraft and Roblox. > They can't watch TV or play games for hours because that gets boring and samey. I would argue that its not because its boring, its because it doesnt give as frequent rewards for engagement and so becomes less attractive for the user. > get immediately sabotaged by instagram shorts because it's so much more stimulating Its not stimulation, its lazyness. I guarantee that anybody would get more stimulation from investment in a decent story in a book, movie, or game, but it takes more effort to get there. Its much easier to get that tiny hit of dopamine from a 10 second video than it is to invest 2 hours into a story to get a decent payoff. Its this lazyness of wanting the easy hit instead of putting the time in that is making people put down that book and jump on Instagram.
