I 1000% blame social media companies for intentionally designing their apps

I'm not a smartphone user, so I ask out of curiosity:

Do people really have no agency anymore? No self-discipline?

I've read this statement that it's "the machine's fault" in numerous versions but I'm puzzled by it. If you don't like the screen, why don't you just turn it off, or toss it in the bin?

why don't you just throw the cigarette on the ground? why don't you just stop drinking?
