😵‍💫 Short videos have become a daily part of our daily lives. We just go to see 5 minutes on social networks like Tik-tok, Instagram, but after a while we notice that a whole hour has already passed.

But why can't we stop after one or two videos?

1. intriguing start.

Most videos on the Internet have a quick and interesting start. The creators try to keep the viewer from the first seconds and intrigue him, which improves the wallet of video creators.

2. surprise and interest of the viewer shows a desire to find out what is in the next video.

For example, a video can immediately show an unusual result of the experiment, but not explain how it happened. The viewer becomes interested in finding out the reason, so he continues to watch.

3. recommendation algorithms.

The platforms analyze the interests of users by their watched videos and based on this information. If you have watched a video about sports several times, it will often come across in your feed. So you will not search for the necessary information yourself, but it will appear in your recommendations.

🌷Tip: If you can't control your time on social networks, set a time limit. This will help you watch content for relaxation, and not waste extra time.
