[ SLANG ][ ATTENTION ][ NOUN ]
The consistent pace at which a user scrolls a feed, and the pattern creators exploit to time hooks and pacing so a post doesn't get skipped mid-scroll.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"First half-second has to break the scroll rhythm or the whole video's dead on arrival."
LORE & ORIGIN
Adopted directly from short-form video editing, where matching a cut's timing to the average scroll rhythm is a deliberate retention technique.
