Six Mechanisms
editI have added a section in about 6 key mechanisms that have been linked to the problematic / addictive nature of social media platforms. Structuring the mechanisms seemed like the most viable option in providing order to the multitude of information that is currently there. Soon I will go through and build on the sections to add greater detail to them. I will also go through and see what can be merged from the starting chunk as this has some content which could overlap and be shifted into one of the mechanism categories.

Neutrality dispute
edit@Chaotic Enby and Sink Cat: Why is this article's neutrality being disputed? Jarble (talk) 15:54, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- The whole article presents "problematic social media use" as if it was an established fact that this was a pathology, using wp:weasel words such as
Experts from many different fields have conducted research
, and is overall pretty biased towards the "this is a pathology" side of the debate. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 16:04, 2 April 2024 (UTC)- @Chaotic Enby: Are there any experts who disagree with this side of the debate? This article could include their opinions, if necessary. Jarble (talk) 17:40, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- I've seen a lot of people arguing against the idea; I have not read studies, though. I've noticed a lot of it says "problematic social media use can cause (e.g. anxiety)", which seems like misleading phrasing: it's very close to "social media use causes X", but if problematic social media use happens more as a result of other problems then this phrasing is misleading, and a bit of a tautology (problematic social media use causes problems). I've heard it described as a bit of a moral panic a lot. Mrfoogles (talk) 06:12, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
