Has Channel Surfing Been Replaced with Endless Scrolling?

The Impact of Mindless Scrolling and Dopamine Hits on Media Consumption


Endless Scrolling Channel Surfing


We humans really are creatures of habit. Once upon a time, a large majority of us spent countless hours of our lives surfing through 100+ channels on cable desperately trying to find something that would entertain us between commercials.

Thankfully, many of us freed ourselves from cable TV's grip, only to be snared into another time-wasting and endless scrolling trap. Social media apps like Facebook and Twitter, Pinterest, and many others have this down to an art. They keep feeding us little dopamine hits, as we scroll down the page looking for something to light up and entertain our brains.

But it's not just social media that learned and uses these techniques to keep us coming back for more, streaming sites are built much the same way. They like to keep us scrolling down our screens until we find a good show to watch. The more time we spend on their sites the higher they rank.

Search engines reward time spent on a particular page or website and streaming channels are also ranked by the number of hours viewers spend on their channels. So it really is in their best interest to keep us all glued to our screens for as long as possible.
