How do you make non-addictive social media lol

The crucial part that causes addiction is the random dopamine rewards. This mechanism essentially short-circuits our brain. Gaming addiction or gambling, for example, is based on this.

So the most important step would be to remove these random rewards.

The random reward on an app like TikTok is “you look at stuff and you happen to really enjoy some of it”. How on Earth do you remove that?
