Imagine you're eating a bag of candy, one piece at a time, and every time you finish one, another appears. That's what endless scrolling feels like on social media. It starts with something fun or interesting, like a funny video or a cute picture. Then, before you know it, the next post comes up, and the next one after that, and pretty soon, hours have passed. Social media apps are made to keep you going forever.
Examples
- You open Facebook, and by the time you've finished one post, another has already appeared.
