All of these supposed revelations that companies try to make products that people will use were supposed to empower people to break free from these addictions

Yet anecdotally, these narrative seem to give people more excuses to engage further with their addictions of choice.

I’ve heard so many variations of “It’s not my fault I use so much (Facebook|TikTok|Reddit), don’t you know they have people employed to make them addictive!?”

The people I know who best moderate their usage are the ones who own their own choices, not the ones who blame everything on corporations.
