The Engagement Trap

Scroll through 8 posts. Click what interests you. Skip what doesn't. The algorithm is watching.

Signal recorded

For each post: Like if it interests you, Pause if you'd stop to read, or Skip to move on. You don't need to be honest - just act naturally. The algorithm doesn't need you to be honest either.

Post 1 of 8

Based on your 8 interactions, here is the algorithm's inferred profile of you.

You interacted with content for seconds total.

Algorithm's Inferred Profile
You made no purchases. You shared nothing personal. You simply paused, liked, or skipped. That was enough to build this profile - and to begin showing you content designed to deepen each inference.
Platforms do not need you to act on content to learn from it. Dwell time - how long you pause on a post before scrolling - is one of the strongest signals. Pausing 2 seconds longer than average on a post counts as engagement even if you keep scrolling.
