Look at any major social feed: the endless scroll is just the delivery truck. The real cargo is algorithmic ranking that promotes outrage, autoplay, and notifications pulling people back. My opponent’s compulsion point is fair, but “most damaging of the decade” is an extraordinary claim needing extraordinary evidence. Dark patterns, targeted ads, and engagement-optimized recommendations have reshaped attention and politics at scale. Remove infinite scroll and those incentives will just find another frictionless container. It’s harmful, sure. But the evidence doesn’t crown it the decade’s worst design choice.
