I bookmarked this post for a more thorough read. It's very informative. I think for some people, it's easy to get hooked when they usually find something new. If you tend to check your social media acct. everytime you're bored, there's a possibility that your dopamine level is getting low and you're already craving the appropriate trigger. As far as I remember from a video in this article, they have already isolated different sets of dopamine-release triggers for native hunter-gatherers and farmers. I guess popular social media appeal to people with "hunters' genes" because they're offered something new most of the time. I think it's all about finding exciting, unpredictable content. Farmers, on the other hand may check social media every day because it has become 'routine' with a particular purpuse, depending on the person's preference. This is just my deduction but still, they have a reason to stick around. That's probably why something goes mainstream. Scientists have studied how to appeal to the vast majority with different beliefs, genetic makeup and temperaments.

I hope you enjoy reading this article. I spent a lot of time researching and doing the write-up. Its scary to think that there is something sinister going on behind the scenes of FB and the big social networks. Its all about attention, the more they can grab, the more they are worth. Then things like my gf complaining about not getting enough likes on a photo or something like that resonates with what I learned from researching this topic. Guard your mind well or they will make a gambler / addict out of you yet!
i am new at steemit please help me learning it and please votes me thanks
I will try...
Here are some Guidelines i learned
Everyone likes to get an Upvote once in awhile, so instead write something meaningful, something not offtopic also related to the Blog you read, then the chance of upvote will rise.
Same as above, tell the Blogger what you like about the Blog he has written, show him/her that you actually have read the Blog, then he/she will notice you and the chance of upvote rises some more.
That means, what you understand, but with Steemworld you will see.
Also as a example i saw this, it looks like something a bot will say, because it's Offtopic and you did say that exact same sentence in another Blog.
Some useful Link for New Steemians
Happy learning i #learntosteem too😉
