This personalized viewing experience sounds harmless but it can push users down a rabbit hole that can reinforce negative thoughts and behaviors, and bombard them with content that is not always healthy.

So you would ban all social media? Cuz that's pretty much how it works. Except that dopamine is not released "every time users watch a video", it is far more complicated than that in some sense and far more basic in that not every experience results in a release of dopamine. That bolded statement is bull***** That logic would require banning sex and learning.
Am I an addict for microdosing dopamine while playing games on my phone or Playstation?
Even if you were addicted to video games the likely hood it would lead to suicide is low. And if you get addicted to it later in life even less of a chance.quash said:Redbrickbear said:

It is also not surprising at all that transgenderism and gender dysmorphia took off in the internet age.
[When Jay told his mom he was bisexual at 14, she was supportive. But when he came out as transgender a few years later, she pushed back. She felt blindsided by the news. YouTube videos and online forums soon convinced her that she was right to feel that way. To her, it was clear that Jay was simply mistaken. A trans contagion called "rapid-onset gender dysphoria," spread through social media, had caught hold of him and convinced him he was not female, she said. The Internet had turned him trans.]

Every two hours in this country a young girl under the age of 25 kills herself.
We are talking more than 4,000+ dead young people a year in the USA.
For every completed suicide by youth, it is estimated that 100 to 200 attempts are made.
https://www.sccenter.org/programs-and-services/for-teens/teen-suicide-facts/
On average less than 30 people die a year in school shootings in the USA.
With about 600+ killed since 1970
