Y'all talking about dopamine just sound silly. That's not actually what dopamine is. It's just pseudo-science to sell grifts like happy pills and violent control of the internet.

Did you read the article you linked?
"More recent research shows that dopamine has less to do with the experience of pleasure and more to do with anticipating or craving something. "
"Create checks and balances for time spent in unhealthy behavior loops (e.g., social media scrolling, online shopping, online gambling)."
I didn't claim it was pleasure but addiction like gambling.
