That's a straw man argument. I never said they were.

> There are even studies that show that it makes their users depressed.

What percentage of the population do you think are in the habit of reading academic studies about the effects of the products they use?

It all feels reminiscent of cigarette smoking. The damage was very well known yet people continued to do it. It took extensive government regulation to wean people off their addiction, not a "buck up, chump" motivational message.

I don't believe the above user is here to have a well thought out discussion, they just want to tell the world how much better they are than the social media addicts.

I never said you did say that.
