it is bad that I am reading an incredibly depressing book about gambling in Vegas & feel I can perfectly relate to the motivations of the gamblers?
-
reading about them "seeking self-oblivion in the machine zone" and I nod and switch over to keep scrolling through Twitter
-
mainly I just feel grateful that I have found much less life destroying ways of scratching that same itch
-
of course, the other part I really relate to is where it describes design techniques for creating an absorbing experience that maximises revenue flow per user 🙃

(the book is Addiction By Design by Natasha Dow Schüll, it is very good & I would recommend it)
