Edit: please note before above reply was edited to 'No' it literally said that what I wrote is 'pretty much accurate'.
It's just been a fad to be concerned about it. That's basically passed now, and the next few fads are already pretty mature.
But hey at least it didn't drink the blood of all humanity, what's done is done. We should move on, you are correct.
Although, on second thought, it did spur those new next fads and set a precedent. And they do seem to be improving on the original in habit forming. It is also attempting to generate a new one to ride to a higher water mark and to be completely honest I'm not sure all those posts and things it prompted people to do en masse were beneficial to society overall..
Maybe there's some sort of lesson to be gleaned here.
Building a product that people for less time per day on average than TikTok, Youtube, Snapchat is "drinking blood"?
I think you should take a step back and evaluate if it's really as bad as you think it is.
Firstly, that is despite your best efforts and not for lack of trying.
Secondly, as we established, whether it is 5 minutes or 5 hours, the key is the formation of the habitual use.
Thirdly, the 'drinking the blood of humanity' is about the Paperclips game. Even if you've played it before here is that link again to rejigger your memory: https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/
Please do make sure to play it all the way through to understand the reference. A bit of a time commitment but really not as bad as you think it is.
