More like mind hacking. It's like these apps want to hook into the reward center of people's brains. Get them addicted to stupid bullshit so they spend hours scrolling through that stuff so they look at more and more advertising. Funny how advertising is always at the root of all this evil. Maybe we should get rid of it.

Only thing worse is video game design which does this explicitly and unashamedly. They wire the dopamine button to the player's credit card.
