He’s right. Clinical addiction has nothing to do with how much you do something, it has to do with how much it causes problems in your life. I know everyone on Lemmy is tripping over their own hard ons to kill corporations, but there are people using lemmy 16 hours a day and if laws are passed to fight Internet addiction, they will not specifically target corporations. We all go down together. Just ask the creator of Urban Dead.
So someone doing Heroin everday is not addicted if it doesn’t cause any problems in life? Clinical Addiction absolutely does have to do with how much you do something (and other factors of course).

I guess we could chalk it up to bad journalism because the example was purely anecdotal. It‘s frustrating for sure.
