They literally are (or are distribution channels thereof). Designed by some of the best psychologists.

Addicting maybe but they literally are not drugs. More akin to gambling addiction then any sort of drug dependency. There's a gigantic difference between the two. Sort of bothers me when people throw them in the same pile as they are so much different when it comes to how to deal with those types of addiction.

Fair enough. The "substance" itself is missing, so the drug itself is not being there.
