The article titled "Dopamine Manipulation in Social Media Algorithms" has an adequate length, amounting to a word count of 994 words.


The text commences with an introductory section that familiarizes the reader with the topic of dopamine manipulation in social media algorithms. The author defines this subject as the exploitation of the brain's dopamine system through the positive reinforcement of platform engagement. The body of the article is divided into multiple sections that delve into further aspects of dopamine and its relation to social media. The author draws information from credible sources such as medical research publications and newspapers, including the Brown's Undergraduate Journal of Public Health, Cleveland Clinic, The Guardian, The New York Times, and The European Society of Medicine, among others. My recommendation to define the scope of the sources would be to include hyperlinks for enhanced accessibility to the referenced articles.


The issue of algorithm manipulation that leads to addictive behavior is clearly and objectively addressed. The ethical implications of engagement techniques and short-form videos that trigger addiction are discussed in the text. It is crucial to understand these implications, as a staggering 59% of the world's population utilizes social media, requiring users to be more responsible and aware when engaging through various platforms.


Throughout the text, the author maintains impartiality, presenting factual evidence on the functions of dopamine and the reported effects. The chances of addiction resulting from the extreme use of social media are discussed hypothetically. Overall, this article meets all of required elements.
