    His argument is: 16 hours daily use is not addiction IF THAT IS THE ONLY FACTOR. He repeats it again and again. But that argument is stupid, because it ignores the other well-known and proven variables of addiction. Does this behavior have serious effects on your mental and physical health? Does it interrupt your work and play? Do you have an obsessive need to do it? The list goes on.

    Who put this genius in front of a microphone?

      What does ‘if that is the only factor’ mean anyway? What could you possibly do every waking hour other than like breathing that’s healthy?

      Like maybe he’s right to is isnt addiction it’s turbo addiction!
