Social media isn't just a raw collection of people, it's very specifically built and operated toward the purpose of encouraging people to open up a direct conduit between their Id and their thumbs. It's designed down to the last pixel to engage that part of your brain, from the colors to the UX to backend algorithms and manual management.
It is as addictive as any drug and twice as hard to quit. Take it from me, the ONLY thing even REMOTELY close to social media I use is this site and honestly I feel bad about how much I'm here.
