Frankly I'm not a big gamer but I really found social media to be very close to playing a game. You keep trying to get to a certain level, a certain amount of likes and you often don't realise you were doing that until you step away.

When I got to my first thousands followers on twitter my urge to keep tweeting completely disappeared. I'd won the game I didn't even realise I was playing. While I was building up my followers I really thought I was making friends and liked people on there. But no, I was just trying to get to 1k to prove I could.
