This week’s question: Young people in South Korea who worry they’re addicted to shopping apps are using websites that let them browse products and click order, all without making a real purchase. If a U.S. tech firm were to launch such a “dopamine site”—named for the small mental jolt it delivers—for recovering shopaholics, what should it be titled?
