I feel like treating social media "addiction" as the problem instead of as the symptom is a backwards attitude. As a recovering opiate addict I can tell you that detoxing from opiates doesn't "cure" your addiction. Addiction is tightly woven in between many other coexisting problems including mental health, physical health, abuse, neglect etc. etc. I think one of the main problems with Dapps is that they're centered around cryptocurrency and blockchain rather than the main purpose of the application. This attracts bad actors and incentivizes people to gamify the system for profit rather than generate content for the site. Social currency is far more attractive and is endlessly abundant which is why sites like 4chan and Reddit have been so successful. If the community doesn't start focusing on creating applications that utilize blockchain instead of creating blockchains that happen to be associated with apps we'll never see wide adoption from the public.
