Do a few nude photographs on wikipedia hold the same addiction potential as an infinite stream of short form HD videos - specifically optimized for attention capture - on platforms like reddit ?

I am not even sure whether I should take you seriously.

> a few nude photographs on wikipedia

It’s a wee bit more extensive than that. Videos, more than a few, and most of them not tied to a wiki page.

As someone who tried to run a clean BBS and later a web forum, I’ll never be surprised at the lengths people will go to share porn.

It is still incomparable for all intents and purposes to platforms like reddit etc.
Of course people go to great lengths to share porn. But we should also go to great lengths to protect kids (and adults) from incredibly addictive things like hard drugs, porn, gambling, lootboxes etc.
