I think this actually ties into our entire society's problem with dopamine systems being completely out of control as a result of all our technologies among other things.

Basically smart phones turned everyone into a junkie looking for the next high and there's never any downtime to reset our dopamine systems so this addiction behavior will only continue to manifest.

Really interesting talk about it I listened to the other day if anyone cares to dig in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l916-iIvYM

We need down time and discomfort, but our entire world is engineered to get rid of those things. It's actually kind of catastrophic but no one's really tuned into it yet.
