I wonder if that's really a problem or if it's the same group people getting manipulated over and over.



I guess it depends when people get afflicted. If you spend your adult life all day playing a slot-machines or a dopamine-enriching computer game, you are unlikely to be starting a family anytime soon, and so it won't be your children who go on to be the afflicted population in the next generation.

If you had children, they might be more aware of the dangers of these attentional assaults, and actually more resistant to it.
