📱🌀 Short-Video Infinite Loop Type

'Just one more clip' turns into 100! Your thumb swipes on autopilot for the next dopamine jackpot.

📋 Common Symptoms Checklist

✔1–2 hours vanish every night after saying 'just one short clip'
✔Reflexive swiping whenever the first 2 seconds feel slow
✔Unable to recall even 3 videos after scrolling for a full hour
✔Opening video feeds during 15-second elevator rides
✔Swiping to the next clip before even finishing the punchline

🧠 Brain Mechanism

Driven by B.F. Skinner's variable-ratio reinforcement schedule—the exact mechanism behind slot machines. Your nucleus accumbens spikes dopamine not from enjoying a video, but from anticipating that the NEXT swipe might be a jackpot.

❤️ Romance Tendencies

In romance, you crave fast-paced chemistry and novelty. Once a relationship settles into a calm routine, you may mistake stability for boredom unless you share new adventures together.
