> it takes willpower not to watch it. if all the tube sites were banned, my life would be better.

Now imagine if this was done for different proclivities: alcoholics, speadfreaks, over-eaters, game-addicts. Do you want the government limiting those activities for everyone because a minority lacks self-control?

regulating drugs, highly processed foods, and addictive games sounds good to me. they all exploit vulnerabilities in the human brain. if your product triggers a dump of dopamine, it is suspect.

What thing do humans do that's not an exploit? Isn't HN also a dopamine exploit? Would you ban it?

In other words how do you distinguish between a dopamine exploit and just dopamine?

"Regulating" and banning/limiting intake are 2 different things. What's the limit of sucrose you can buy/consume?
