Ask HN: Articles on how social media manipulate their users to spend more time?

1 pointsby patrickdaveyabout 7 years ago
My sister was asking me for articles on how social media companies manipulate their users to spend more and more time on them. Things like &quot;infinite scrolling&quot; and Snaps &quot;streaks&quot; feature.<p>I seem to remember an x-google employee? putting out a manifesto suggesting that we should display a timer showing how long you&#x27;ve spent etc. I can&#x27;t find the link now.<p>Anyway, if you do have any decent articles on the tricks and risks of using social media, particularly regarding children please pass them on.
