Yeah but I don't get brightly colored notifications for dumb stuff because I don't use those companies' services. This is a bit of a chicken and egg argument, which one comes first? Everyone knows that the internet is largely a dumb time sink. TV is largely a dumb time sink as well, but nothing prevents you from tuning in at the time where the show you're interested in starts, and turning it off when it ends. If you end up on the addictive side of the internet and find your reward centers exploited for profit, you should only blame yourself. We've all been there. Blaming "computers" is silly because there are many great uses for technology and the internet that are not addictive and brain-destroying by design.
