    The site was always built on “The Skinner Box” model, where you get those sweet sweet dopamine hits. Even back in 2010-2011 it was like that, my girlfriend was literally addicted to checking Facebook. She couldn’t go more than about 5-10 minutes without checking her wall/feed.

    I had an account back when I started to open up in 2005-2006 and it’s a completely different beast now. At least back then it was about social interaction with people at your university and not a virtual drug machine.
