Storyclearing 

The act of tapping through every Instagram story just to remove the colorful rings at the top of the app, not because you actually care about the content. A mix of digital anxiety, FOMO, and the need to keep things “cleared.”

“I spent ten minutes storyclearing before bed. I didn’t even watch a single one, I just needed them all gone.”
