In short:

Image/video related to your interest = dopamine hit. Constant dopamine hits = addiction. Addiction = depression, less braincells, mental illness.

Text only = none of the above because no image/video = makes you think. And thinking is (obviously) good.

    Creating artificial feedback loops based on dopamine hits leads to not getting them when actual rewarding behavior occurs.

      More like, you become enslaved by (whatever gives your “dopamine fix”), getting you closer of being a literal “zombie” (Does not rationale – relies “everything” on its dopamine source).

          That is just pure, unaltered science friend. If you don’t understand, just talk to (pretty much) any doctor. Even a dentist. :^)

            “Does not rationale” is “pure, unaltered science”?

            See, to me it is gibberish. “Does” is an auxiliary verb and “not” is a negating modifier (an adverb) that is supposed to be followed by a verb.

            “Rationale” is not a verb. It is a noun.

            For someone telling people to do things that make them think you’re astonishingly bad at the activity in question yourself. For someone telling people to communicate in words, you’re astonishingly bad with words yourself. Were this a religious argument I’d be pointing you to that thing about specks and beams right about now.
