[ SLANG ][ SOCIAL MEDIA ]
The sudden, sharp point in a scrolling session where a user goes from casually browsing to abruptly stopping entirely, rather than gradually tapering off.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Most sessions taper off slowly but this one hit a scroll cliff, dead stop at exactly the same point every time."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named for the steep, cliff-like shape of the drop-off, distinct from a gradual scroll ceiling by describing the abruptness of the stop.
