Instagram and TikTok content can be very addicting, even if purely for dopamine value. But yeah, what we choose to spend time on here is different from what people choose to spend time on over there. 

 Absolutely. I think the difference is exactly that. Choice. Once you realize that choosing to spend time on social media is important, things change. Rather than relying on it for the dopamine, to combat boredom, etc., if you CHOOSE to use it and the content is useful and leads to interesting relationships, social can be productive, enjoyable and not necessarily addictive… 

 Absolutely. So much of the so called social media is actually not social. People scroll endlessly without hardly interacting with anything they consume. This feeds addiction and many don’t know they are addicted, or know and ignore 

 Everyone has different interests. There should be a large variety. I always joke with my friends about how we’re on completely different internets, because even while using the same platforms, we see such different things. 

 Haha for sure!
