…pull to refresh?
When you scroll up at the top of the page and it reloads the feed
But how is that an addictive practice?
I think what’s implied here is the types of feeds which give a completely new content page when you “refresh”, so it’s not a regular “refresh-as-in-show-me-content-that-got-posted-since-last-access”, but an algorithm driven “refresh-as-in-replace” mechanism to increase engagement by continuing to provide stimulating content.
