Why do social media apps help people moderate their screen time?

229 views

I doubt Instagram and YouTube are adding these “screen time analytics” and TikTok is making ads that encourage you to take a break from the app out of the kindness of their hearts and genuine concern for our wellbeing…. right? Is this a result of some kind of law, mandating that these kinds of features have to exist? Or does this actually help their business somehow?

Without it people might decide that if they can’t do it themselves they’ll just quit using the app completely. Better reduced than zero. It’s like cigarettes having “light” versions.
