We watched 1,000 TikToks in one sitting. The algorithm served up a shocking number of ads, rivaling network TV.

I read once that the only two industries that call people users are the tech industry and the drug industry
ever since then, I have been saying the word : stimulate, because that's what they do, they give users that dopamine rush, with push notifications, reminders, SMS and Email notifications, suggestions based on behavioral tracking and shady algorithms that triggers emotions mainly - but not limited to -anger ( because that drives engagement )... Etc
This doesn't mean it's not worth taking a shot, when these platforms screw up ( and they will ), when the migration starts you want your alternative to be able to handle the weight
