Phantom Scrolling

scroll alert

1. A scroll alert is a cross between a spoiler alert and a warning to ‘keep on scrolling’, recently invented. Not in wide use.
2. The information which follows ‘scroll alert’ will a) go against the norm b) will involve an alternate viewpoint which may go against your grain, beliefs, and quite possibly piss you off, c) may actually mess with your world and cause you to readjust and grapple with your values for a minimum of three days, and quite possibly more.
3. A scroll alert is a warning or disclaimer.

4. These words indicate that you are forewarned to “Keep on scrolling” unless you’re willing to engage. Just like a spoiler alert, scroll alert is a warning associated with giving away the main or turning point in a politicosocial event.
5. Precedes a statement that someone earnestly believes themselves and knows will really piss people off.
6. A term to describe the revelation of crucial elements (i.e. purported unverified facts, cause of deaths, viewpoint twists, attribution of responsibility, etc.) of a situation involving values (political, religious, moral, social etc.)

Charlottesville….REALLY?
After seeing a host of one-sided posts, I’ve gotta share my views. First of all I don’t see how people can claim any responsibility if they only see one side. That situation was a TWO-SIDED one.

Phantom Scrolling

When you doom scroll so much, you no longer watch YouTube shorts for entertainment, you just do it because you are addicted to the scrolling motion. Excessive exposure may result in endless scrolling through any app that has shorts, including but not limited to LinkedIn.
