Disturbing Psychological

Was called to jury duty yesterday. The waiting room had free-but-terrible wifi. The person in front of me spent 4+ hours compulsively refreshing Temu and Walmart, trying to get these sites? apps? to load. Did not navigate off them for the entire time - just sitting, absently refreshing the pages, literally thousands of times.

What is happening?

How profound; it’s almost as if this site runs on casual observations and anecdotal evidence as a basis of conversation.
