No “take a break.”
Just endless content until you die or your battery gives up.

TikTok:
“Don’t scroll, I’m sad.”
“Stay with me, it boosts my video.”
You: Stay out of guilt, and now crying for a stranger with a ring light.
They’re farming your empathy like it’s a new crypto coin.

You just saw a guy explaining aliens and pineapples.
You search for it: POOF, vanished.
Not a glitch. It’s on purpose.
Now your brain says: “Better not skip anything ever again.”
