Hi @krnel. I like to follow scientific papers written on these kind of topics, and there is a great paper out saying that addiction to social media is also linked to the fear of missing out (FOMO), here is the open access to the paper:

In relation to this I wrote that my concerns are that steemit is even more addictive than other social media, as the reward is larger, and that it will be denied as an addiction, especially if you are earning reasonable money.
( I would be honored if you come and check out my post)
