Oh for sure. Every video we watch alters our pre conceptions and expectations on a looooot of stuff. Some dopamine addictions cost much more to the mind and spirit than it seems simply because the body can appear unaffected. And to a person who only sees with their eyes, if their body is unaffected then the addiction becomes more and more justified. But in the end, its simply another dopamine trap that humans are conditioned to fall for, no better or worse than any other trap that tortures the spirit for the benefit of the mind. The only way actually forward for people in these scenarios is essentially an awakening, and we all know how difficult it was under our circumstances, now add multiple more layers for some folk. It's just such a painfully difficult endeavour that most dont even trust exist, so to get them to go against their intuition and succumb to their true pain in order to grow from it as an individual is just not reasonable.
