The highest leverage point for breaking engagement loops is adding latency.

Imagine if the longer your infinite scroll session, the more latency that got added for more content to load.

It would naturally balance out engagement loops, and it doesn't require adding complex other behaviors.

As an industry we've long known that latency is directly related to engagement dropoff.

Obviously, companies optimizing for engagement would never choose to do this themselves.

But what if every app were required to do this?
