A long-form documentary investigation into the attention economy, modern recommendation algorithms and the systems that quietly shape digital behaviour.
This video examines how algorithmic feeds learn user patterns, predict engagement, and optimise for maximum watch time — often at the cost of focus, mental clarity and cognitive bandwidth.

Topics covered in this documentary:

• attention engineering and behavioural design
• how recommendation systems capture and redirect focus
• infinite scroll, dopamine loops, variable feedback
• social platform optimisation models
• the economics behind engagement-driven algorithms
• why modern feeds feel addictive
• how user behaviour is predicted and reinforced
• the hidden mechanics of large-scale attention extraction

This video is relevant to viewers interested in technology, algorithms, digital psychology, platform economics, AI-driven content systems, addiction design and how modern feeds influence everyday thinking.
