Hi AoIR Folks,
Just wondering if folks could help me understand how widespread the term
'dopamine drip' to describe social media's features outside of Australia?
The term was used extensively in the last stages of the social media ban
for under16s being rolled out, and I'm just trying to figure out when it
entered mainstream media discussions in different countries (if at all).
Thanks in advance,
Tama
