Hey I am on Medial • 10h

“Built to Be Addictive: The Real Reason You Can’t Quit Mobile Games” Ever wondered why you open a game “just for 5 minutes” and suddenly an hour’s gone? That’s not an accident—it’s design. Gaming apps use addictive algorithms that play on your brain’s reward system. One of the biggest hooks is variable rewards—you win something, but you never know what. That unpredictability keeps you coming back. Then there’s the progression system: level-ups, badges, unlocks—little wins that make you feel like you’re achieving something. Games also adjust difficulty dynamically, keeping it just hard enough to stay interesting. Add in time-based energy limits, daily login bonuses, and social leaderboards, and you’ve got a perfect trap. It’s not just fun—it’s a system built to keep you playing.
