every notification is a hit of dopamine. every like, comment, and favorite tells you: "you're valuable. you matter. keep doing what makes us feel this way"

picture a girl with a secret alt account posting lip syncs and dances. she gets maybe 150 views per video, which is fine but nothing special. then one day she posts one where she leans over and her shirt isn't buttoned all the way up, and that video gets 50k views

you already know what happens next. even if she didn't mean to, her brain picks up on the pattern real quick: no one actually cares about your lip syncing, they want to see your body, so show them

gooners scroll right past her covered-up videos, so the algo stops pushing them. and once she's felt that 50k high, she needs it again. her next videos are in low cut crop tops, then bikinis, then undies (nike pros? 🤭), and she gets rewarded every single time

think of it like you're spreading the gooning virus. the algo figures out what you'll like by checking if someone like you already liked it. same accounts, same interests, even same area? the content starts seeping into your feed whether you asked for it or not

every time you like or repost, it goes straight to your followers. if even a few gooners that follow you do the same thing, suddenly it's completely filling all gooners' feeds worldwide. and the whole time, it's quietly leaking from every gooner's feed into the feeds of anyone even a little bit like them

and the best part? the people who don't even know they're next. maybe they liked a few too many vids with girls in bikinis at the beach. maybe they stared too long when rewatching clips with their hot cousin showing cleavage. they have no idea, but they're already getting pulled into the goon cave

once they're in, they're done for. endlessly scrolling, endlessly gooning, and now they're spreading it to everyone they know too
