things I am (currently) addicted to: coffee, hackernews, news, computers, programming, problem-solving/puzzles, youtube/shows/movies, games/poker, reading articles, ...
I think we need to be aware of what we are (currently) addicted to. The author of the like button has been able to break free of social media, and like a former smoker, it sounds as if he is on a crusade to help others break free too. I am unsure that democracy/capitalism as the author describes is working/evil -- both are 'like' systems that allow a person to choose and receive a reward, and we can choose not to participate. There are worse systems. And, perhaps we can create better ones.
