There's nothing inherently wrong with dopamine hits.

When people receive a like, a reply, a quote reply of their post, a boost or a zap these are all forms of acknowledgement that you are being not only seen, but someone found value in it. That's a good thing.

What's wrong is force feeding people content based on the following when the recipient isnt explicitly asking for it...

- who wrote it

- how many likes, zaps, replies it has

- the topic it's about

Yes everyone wants to feel love and belonging. The issue can be that algos may push one to a negative space as negative emotions engage people more than positive ones. Genetic and hard to overcome.

Then, there's the avoidance of others as online engagement becomes more fulfilling.
