It is true that some games and most porn are produced with the intention of exploiting additive behaviour. There is certainly an issue here. This article sheds practically no light on that but instead takes a rambling, anecdote-strewn approach that starts with a conclusion which it scarcely even bothers to try and support.

There is no evidence given of an actual problem existing on a significant scale in society. There is no mention of any other changes in society which might also account for the supposed phenomenon. Addiction is viewed purely as a cause and never a symptom of depression and social exclusion.

I would love to see a proper assessment of the impact of these industries on society. I would love to see more recognition from the more reputable producers in these industries that some unscrupulous companies gain financially from having an addicted consumer base. And I would love to see constructive and practical ideas for how to improve the social impact of these industries in the future. I'm getting none of that here.
