Las redes sociales tienen el mismo principio adictivo que las máquinas tragamonedas

Social media platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and YouTube are facing personal injury lawsuits for allegedly knowingly addicting kids to their platforms. The addictive nature is compared to a slot machine, where the uncertain rewards compel users to keep scrolling and seeking dopamine hits. The platforms closely study user behavior and use algorithms to design feeds that provide variable and unpredictable payoffs, making it highly addictive.
