This post is excellent, measured, sensible, long and comprehensive. Nobody will like it, because it doesn't say "social media is pushing an electronic drug through your phone that makes your brain fall apart, and that's why you like it so much". That's the popular and exciting meme.
But why is that? What's so unappealing about "looking at your phone is fine for your brain but is possibly not what you were supposed to be doing"? Be free, enjoy your stupid ticky-tocks.
Possibly it's a way to shift responsibility.
