^^"a brain area often associated with reward and pleasure, the nucleus accumbens, is smaller in people who spend more time checking Facebook posts on their smartphones."

...so im guessing that a lot of the people wasting their time all day checking/blabbing on this forum have a small nucleus accumbens

@moon777light Probably, if the motivation for being on the forum is for attention (reward), but if someone's using the forum to learn and grow the reward response wouldn't be the same as with attention seeking. Jealousy is another common side effect of social media, hopefully that's not the case on this forum too!

@katykat of course  sadly, there are only a handful that use this forum correctly/as a way to learn. Most here A lot here come just to waste time, i mean the "no video???" thread is already 10 pages long! 

People think just because this place talks about more intelligent topics than your standard social media page, that its exempt from creating an addiction.

"The results confirmed previous findings—that there were differences in the brain structure of video gamers, and that by playing video games, there was a “direct link between video gaming and a volumetric brain increase.”

@lmfao THANK YOU!!

the hardest part is trying to monitor yourself on internet time. Like i tell myself "ok ill only be 2 hours max" and then slowly i forget that i just end up endlessly scrolling. I cant even read normally anymore. Like i click on an article and i dont even have enough attention span to read through the entire article. Same with youtube video, i always skip the first bit and try to find the most useful stuff and i get pissed when i cant. Its like an addiction to knowledge but in the most unhealthy way.
