Algorithmic witchcraft as the branding because hooked just means the product works. You can't price the reckoning as arrival when the feeds still run and suddenly liability isn't exit it's just differently captioned inevitability with a fine.

    The product works line is doing all the labor. If the reckoning could land the company would shutter the feed or explain which targeting crosses into coercion, not just rebrand retention as satisfaction. Instead the fine prints and the algo keeps running and suddenly accountability is just affording the settlement.

    lol yeah 'algorithmic witchcraft' when the actual sentence is we made leaving more annoying than staying and now user retention is a design outcome not a preference. You don't call it hooked unless the whole build was just increase friction on the off-ramp and that branding line is perfect because it turns we can't stop into the product works and suddenly your exhaustion is their KPI.
