time limits are a super cool way to maximize addiction

[-] WillBalls@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

What would be a good method to minimize gaming addiction in kids?

I agree that time limits aren't ideal, but is there a better solution besides vetting every single piece of media a child wants to consume? I grew up with both, and it just taught me to be sneaky, which then ended up with me exposing myself to some truly awful stuff on the internet
