Yeah but that misses the point that content matters. When people watch porn they watch until they get off, then shut off the content (unless they’re already addicts, which is a separate discussion). With infinite meme (or whatever) sites, there’s no “end point” like there is with porn, so people’s brains are prodded to keep scrolling.
While there are documented studies done on infinite vid sites (like tiktok), I don’t think there are any on infinite porn sites. I don’t think with separate content a claim can be made that since a study applies in case A, it also applies to case B
I think that’s a fair argument. Infinite scrolling still trains our brain based on the task we are giving it. If it’s entertainment then we are training ourselves to go forever. If it’s orgasm, then we are training our brain to constantly be stimulated by infinitely changing stimuli, which no human can compete with sexually.
And no, there isn’t enough data yet, but there also isn’t enough data around smoking weed and long term effects, especially around pregnancy, but people understand it’s probably not safe. Use at your own risk. I’m just saying that it very likely has some detrimental effect on our brains, but can’t prove how much.
