I would argue the two aren't equivalent as you imply. Social media has been designed to be as addicting as possible for a profit motive. Companies hire people who specialize in psychology, just to figure out how to take advantage of our brains, especially the underdeveloped brains of children, to get as many eyes looking at it for as long as possible.
