Woah woah woah, first and foremost not all addictions are bad.

A human can become addicted to a wide variety of things, and these things can be beneficial.

Take for instance walking around the block every day; sure, it's not sexy, but once it's been habituated and rewarded to the point of addiction, the user can and does do it:

1. Without expending unnecessary willpower to make it happen, and

2. Without impeding on other areas of their lives which they want and need to focus by decreasing their cognitive load.

Now, mind you, I am not a fan of platforms like Facebook who utilize behavior psychology to create intentionally addictive products with low marginal utility other than engagement; I think that in many ways that sort of thing is both immoral and unethical.

That being said, if an app for meditation is able to make a user addicted to performing a 10-minute meditation session every day, the user benefits greatly with reduced anxiety, and the product is successful, I think that's a great service to the user and I really don't understand what the problem is.

I feel like maybe your comment is coming from a place of either concern or misdirected anger, and I'm not really sure which.

I both hear and respect what you're saying, and taking potshots at a stranger on the internet isn't going to solve anything.

You're right, we don't work to create addicts, but if we can help our users beat out negative habits with positive ones that help them feel fulfilled, satisfied, and help them achieve their goals, so much the better.
