      I mean there are people who probably will not develop an addiction because of this (due to stuff like good self regulation skills), a lot of things can be addictive but also be good (like social media), maybe it is better to add features that help regulate behavior like a notification after a amount of time has passed set by the user (or just suggesting a link to a open source app that does this).
