Comment on “IG is a drug”: Internal messages may doom Meta at social media addiction trial

This is not just pseudo-science. It’s literally just a false statement.
It’s ok if people want to compare “social media” to a drug, but there’s any meaningful evidence for those claims either so that’s pseudo-science too.

Both electronic media (social media, apps) and cigarettes act as quick-hit, artificial sources of dopamine, the brain’s “feel-good” neurotransmitter, which can lead to addiction. Cigarettes/vapes release dopamine through nicotine, while digital media does so through notifications and content, both hijacking the brain’s reward system to create compulsive, repetitive behaviors.
