Talking about it is the first step......




Internet addiction is a recognised addiction, should that be narrowed down to social media addiction, which has not been identified as an addiction?

Isn't it just a new way of communicating with people?

Originally that was probably the idea. But now. what with the buzz of getting 20 plus likes or some **** like that, it MUST have its own addiction lable attached to it.(label)??

Yeah, I suppose the likes system and what not could be an issue, craving the conformation of your comments being accepted.

A bit like the award system for post count on here....people even make threads that are either congratulating someone for reaching a milestone or for the op reaching one.....i worry.........and care enough to make a stand.

I very much doubt people get carried away with trying to reach certain post counts on the forum.

If anything, a lot of people find shame in the their high post counts.

If you're talking about the likes of michael21 then I feel there is a condition at play. Not a desire for post counts.

Not to mention, most of those threads are chat and games rubbish, which don't count towards post counts.

I think there probably is such a thing as social media addiction... But I'm not convinced that TIBB post count addiction is real

But there must be a reason people make threads/posts that don't interest parmy. It can't be that the world doesn't revolved around parmy.

Yeah i know...but all these games on fb and that all offer rewards for playing the game.

Tibb offers rewards for participating...so there will be some addicted to how high a post count is going...especially as it nears the cheapest looking smileys on the net awards......


Anyway..tibb nor I are the real crux of things.

I'm sorry but the awards are nowhere near attractive or worthy of actually encouraging people to post more.
