  Escapism.

  There was an episode in Stargate SG-1 where they find some pretty lights in a temple and they couldn’t take their eyes off it.
  The longer you feeded the addiction, the easier it made you forget about everything else, until you forgot to eat, drink or sleep.

  Not saying social media has the same properties but.. “It’s fun”.

  I read about neat things and I write about neat things. Sometimes people are wrong on the Internet and I get to fix that.

  If it's not fun for you then you don't have to.

    I just wanted personal examples since we all have different values and takeaways

    It’s laughs, music, and info for me

      Quite so. Sorry, I interpreted your "how" in the "I don't understand, how can you find this fun? I'm only here because Microsoft has my family hostage and are making me post in exchange for their freedom" sense.
