"Dopamine Detox" and "NoFap" guys are trying to get you frustrated so you're easier to radicalize. This is a long and storied fascist recruitment tactic. The worse you feel the more likely you are to find community within their circles, and that's when they get you.

The NoFap rhetoric is just about how to use the "personal responsibility" addiction rhetoric for everything that gives you pleasure

I’m the product of two failures with histories of depression, so I just feel like every ounce of joy costs a pound of numbness. No exploitation or too much joy needed.

I feel ya. My parents literally met at an Alcoholic's Anonymous meeting, and they both continued to use and drink long after that too.

That said, eh, fuck paying for joy. Steal that shit like its a grape at a grocery store. Just make sure you're not stealing from people in the same boat, cause thats just stealing from yourself in the end too.
