I wouldn't consider either HN or Reddit to be addictive.

I guess it depends on a persons mental state though and if they've anything else going on. Lack of friends in 'real' life etc might lead people to over compensate on platforms like this.

A good read on what makes a product addictive is Hooked: A Guide to Building Habit-Forming Products ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hooked-Guide-Building-Habit-Forming... )
