Oooooof. Can I recommend you spend some time developing some empathy?
The world is complicated. People's lives are complicated (and often meditated by their phones). People's emotional and social wellbeing is complicated, and simply ghosting all your social groups on a random Tuesday is likely to cause significant problems.
It's already annoying to buy drugs just because some % of people get too addicted. Now you also want to forbid doomscrolling?
Yes. To be clear, the implication of this comment is that you would like to deregulate addictive drugs...?
If ~20% of users get an addiction problem I think its not that clear it should be forbidden for everyone.
If basically everyone who takes it for a while gets addicted and dies of course it should be forbidden.
So I would argue that cigaretts should not be allowed but we could discuss cocaine.

Why write like this? This is what sick internet communities look like. Mocking people for their account age, advocating for hating people for the sin of being addicted to social media. This is antisocial behavior, and we should do everything in our power to eject it from the small remaining pockets of sanity on the internet.
If we weren't meant to judge someone for his account age, it wouldn't show up in green.
Social media addiction is a mental illness worthy of public mockery. Imagine if alcoholism could be cured by putting your phone in a drawer.
Next time I see a guy in a doorway with a needle sticking out of his arm I'll be sure to tell him, "I know how you feel man, I can't stop scrolling through Instagram. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, a girl will DM me her boobs. It's tough, these addictions."
Enough with the melodrama. Grow up.
By this logic, you can cure alcoholism by simply not buying alcohol, surely.
