One of the largest contributors to my compulsive phone usage was doomscrolling.
Modern social platforms are intentionally optimized around:
- endless novelty
- infinite feeds
- recommendation systems
- behavioral reinforcement
- engagement retention

Doomscrolling, infinite feeds, and compulsive scrolling behavior.
Doomscrolling
Infinite Scroll Systems
The problem with infinite scroll is that there is no natural stopping point.
- one more swipe away
- one more video away
- one more recommendation away
- one more dopamine hit away
justscrollthis.site
To interrupt this behavior, I created justscrollthis.site.
The concept was intentionally simple: create an unrewarding infinite scroll environment.
