True, because my trusty old Palm IIIxe *wasn't* designed to be addictive
at all.

WTF do you mean? Why would bright colours be more addictive than normal
ones? That's like saying Windows XP is more addictive than Windows 98,
because it's UI used a colorful color palette.

Maybe I just had more time to play Quake by 2001.

That's was back before I accepted the truth that smartphones are *NOT*
addictive at all, but some apps can be. Crap like TikTok, Snapchat and
Instagram are all infamous for purposefully being designed to be
addictive. Avoid if you can and protect your children from this crap.
You don't want your 16-year old girl to go to hospital because it has
done Tide Pod Challenge at 2am.

More like addictive nature of social media apps. Just pwn this shit.
Apple makes it easy, hold the icon and tap that red bubble with 'X'.
