7 months agoPeople watch yt and porn sites for very different reasons. People watch infinite scrolling porn and tiktok for very different reasons. I disagree with your main premise that you can get sucked into any infinite scroll site the exact same way, no matter the content.
Yeah but that misses the point that content matters. When people watch porn they watch until they get off, then shut off the content (unless they’re already addicts, which is a separate discussion). With infinite meme (or whatever) sites, there’s no “end point” like there is with porn, so people’s brains are prodded to keep scrolling.
While there are documented studies done on infinite vid sites (like tiktok), I don’t think there are any on infinite porn sites. I don’t think with separate content a claim can be made that since a study applies in case A, it also applies to case B
