It's basically a porn site. Perhaps there's no nudity, but it's as soul-sucking and a waste of time as erotic pornography. The behavior of the user, the emotional high, and the business model really aren't so different.

In the same sense as reality TV or video games are like porn, yes.

Certanly, though I still argue that apps like Instagram are more closely designed around the model of voyeurism and dopamine-chasing that come to mind with porn.
