They're not identical concepts, but I've been bringing up "dopamine hygiene" a lot lately and it seems to resonate with people.

Given that these companies tend to converge on addiction as their business model, I think there's a lot of overlap.

It seems an absurd amount of people misuse the term dopamine, I found this video https://youtu.be/x6_Ukic1tRM?t=1297 (in Polish, but there are subtitles and dubs). If you want to continue to spread "manipulative disinformation", by all means, some people have to be evil, but just be clear that it is pseudoscience up front.
