 Agreed with the sentiment. But the unironic answer to your question is that the algo like all social media algos is intentionally designed to be addictive. 
 Right. But pretty much everyone on this side of the internet understands this very well and continues to let it control their life.

 I've not seen any Twitter drama on my timeline, maybe time to curate and prune?  
 Alcohol is addictive too, but most people tend to be relatively responsible about their consumption. 
 Most.
