“…Design features implemented in cybersexual websites or apps include algorithm-based recommendations of content, personalized notifications (such as informing users when specific content is available), advanced search functionality (such as identifying all content featuring a specific actress or actor on a specific website), or rating and commenting on content by other users [118][119][120] . These design features suggest that cybersexual products (especially online pornography) are optimized for predicting and responding to user preferences and behaviour, which might promote over-involvement and a potential loss of control over engagement (thereby increasing the amount of time spent on cybersexual websites), especially in vulnerable populations (such as adolescents).…”

Gaming disorder was officially recognized as a disorder of addictive behaviour in the International Classification of Diseases 11th revision in 2019. Since then, other types of potentially problematic online behaviour have been discussed as possible candidates for inclusion in the psychiatric nosography of addictive disorders. Understanding these problematic online behaviours requires further study of the specific psychological mechanisms involved in their formation and maintenance. An important but underdeveloped line of research has examined the ways in which technology design features might influence users' capacity to exert control over how they engage with and use websites and applications, thereby amplifying uncontrolled, and perhaps addictive, use. In this Review, we critically examine the available research on the relationships between technology design features and the loss of control and harms experienced by those who engage in online video gaming, online gambling, cybersexual activities, online shopping, social networking and on-demand TV streaming. We then propose a theory-driven general taxonomy of the design features of online applications that might promote uncontrolled and problematic online behaviours.

“…Farelly et al [18] analyze a broad set of video from the WP website xHamster, and find that they tend to have longer videos compared to mainstream streaming sites and garner more views. xHamster has been studied also by Wong et al [25] and Song et al [23]. They use active measurements to collect metadata on almost 4 million unique videos that span the lifetime of xHamster from 2007 to 2018, finding significant differences between adult streaming services and traditional streaming ones.…”
