"Hey, you should install this app, Honey, it literally gives you free money! ignore all the requests to porn sites its making, and the weird and convuloted blockchain features!.

While you're at it, get nordvpn, so we can use the internet while encrypted and stop facebook tracking us!

For the dopamine thing, while crappy mobile games do have an impact, its not as severe as porn.

Something I find interesting about "dead" communities is most of the time posts will still get attention.

The markdown screwed this up, try viewing the source.

While both are addictive, porn is far more addictive, and it give short term dopamine spikes, which makes everything else seem less interesting or enjoyable, again, this is only regular watching.

Thats not what I meant, sorry if it came off as otherwise.
Your original comment was:

Being on porn sites all day is healthier than being on social media all day.

Which is definitely false. Porn, occasionally and controllably, is fine! But constant - and regular - porn viewing is definetely harmful.

I don't think it will do any of those things, but overconsuming porn can have more damaging effects than just plain social media.

I'm not saying its neccesarily bad though.
