The feed throws a mix of content – updates from friends, new accounts, funny reels. You never know what's next, keeping you swiping. Fear of Missing Out (FOMO): Ever see a friend's amazing story and feel jealous? Instagram uses FOMO by showing glimpses of others' exciting lives. You don't want to miss out, so you keep checking back! The Disappearing Act: Stories vanish after 24 hours, creating urgency. You don't want to miss that hilarious video, so you keep checking for updates! The Commitment Trap: Liking, commenting, and replying make you invested in your profile. The more you engage, the more likely you are to keep coming back. Next episode : Dark Reality of Instagram Follow for more!
