  • It bothers me when people think of social network use as addiction. If you went to a bar, restaurant, work or school you wouldn’t see it as an addiction. I think that seeing social media as addictive is especially harmful when Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and TikTok use it to do immoral things. They hide behind the “but they’re addicts anyway, so what does it matter?” Social networks are not addictive. They’re compelling.
    Does this mean that married people are addicts, to each other? Think the absurdity of calling social media addictive. It devalues our online communities to use such words.
