The Dopamine
Usually associated with reward but tend to be more related to motivation craving.
For example; about enjoying some food, dopamine is not really involved in the enjoyment of eating the food but more towards the motivation to get the food; it's the thing that push to get the food.
So it's not really a signal or reward but more about driving of motivation/craving to seek the rewards.

Is It A Problem?
To have dopamine released for small things (social media, porn, tv, etc) may lead to less motivation.
The pleasures are not the problem. Having the pleasures without a prior requirement is. As it can make you feel 'rewarded' while actually you haven't got anything.

What To Do With It
Be aware that pain/challenge also revoke your dopamine, after the pain is over. The bigger the friction, the bigger dopamine will be.
Running for 5 kms, finish a book, write and publish your blog; challenge your self in doing things and once you finished, mark it as completed then the dopamine will get released.
So instead of seeking small pleasure (and risking yourself to be dopamine rush for unnecesary things and feel less motivated after), swith to seek for pain/challenge. It will improve your dopamine level and also your life.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
