Algorithms are addictive by design. I don’t think that non-algorithmic social media is generally addictive. Forums existed since the start of the internet and they were never an issue. They are even making a comeback now that people are getting tired of algorithms telling them what to see and what to think.
I disagree the algorithm is not what is addictive it is the infinite feed
One doesn’t go without the other otherwise there is always a top or bottom (depending on the sort direction) to reach.
I personally use non algorithmic social media a lot more than algorithmic feed
