This comment turns out to be a tangent. But has anyone looked at whether gamification increases stress/anxiety/depression among social app users?

Your "against" seems to be an actual study, your "for" links are from Jane McGonigal who's been criticized for making claims not backed up in any way and who makes money selling "betterness" through apps, TED talks, and books.
