hard scrolling

Scrolling instagram reels, tiktok or other social media platform in a selective and non-time wasting manner, often with a maximum of three second per video to interest you before you decide to scroll to the next one. This method is used to browse reels and tiktoks in the most effective and least time consuming way.

Hard scrolling is contrary to soft scrolling.
