They don’t even want you to use the website I don’t think. They’ve even done experiments where they blocked people from using the mobile website. The more they want me to use their app, the more I want to avoid Reddit all together.

    Tiktok and shorts are doing a number on people’s attention spans and dopamine reward system. I remember there was some brain activity MRI study about this before. I bet it’s even worse now. Especially on kids and teens with neuroplasticity (if I remember correctly neuroplasticity ends around age 25). Their brains will form differently.

    Not just shorts, but microtransactions and micro-rewards. Small bursts of dopamine, non-stop.
