Then the correct answer to the parent comment's request for evidence to the claims of higher levels of dopamine release is "no, there isn't any, and it is likely a fabricated claim" and not "here is something completely different that I am falsely going to claim is evidence to the question you asked."

Uhhh no one claimed it releases more dopamine than other activities, so the question itself was a red herring from the actual discussion. You're right though, you can go on your pedantic way :) Thank you for your contribution!
“Higher levels of dopamine release” is a nonsense metric. To the extent that it matters, it matters due to its ability to steer decision-making, and TikTok here is saying they know their product distorts decision-making in exactly the problematic manner.
The particular mixture of hormone signals yielding those behaviors is a red herring.
