This is an oversimplification, but do you think drugs don't feel fucking fantastic? Like, how would they hook you if there wasn't something about them on the first dose? Facebook does it by dopamine hits and confirmation bias, but the pathways are not far off.

Did you mean to reply to me? You’re kind of asking what I’m asking. I wouldn’t imagine there’s a “first dose” if the website is shitty and annoying to use. Instead of dopamine, wouldn’t there be bad memories and unpleasant associations?

Sorry, had a long day and parsed your comment as the opposite of what you meant.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
