But then again the top mind of psychology are working at meta &Co getting paid big bucks to milk as much of your brain as possible

We're manufacturing the addiction and the cure, the top 0.01% are profiting of that while the rest of the world is suffering, we can just like... not manufacture the addiction in the first place. Same shit for opiates, it's not just an accident/coincidence, it's something that was developed and planned to make as much profit as possible, the addictive part of it was a feature.

Regardless of if you put the responsibility on society or on the individual it doesn't make sense to defend these addiction creating entities



And now that people stopped flooding the market with opiates legally, the addiction has stopped? No, someone just made it illegally.

Most of these things are “once the cat is out of the bag” situations. The only addictive drug I can think of that was effectively removed from the US market was Methaqualone, and that’s mostly because we had easier to acquire substitutes by the time it finally disappeared.
