No back button here. Keep scrolling or find the exit.
You escaped.

Time spent in the feed:

What the feed removed
No scroll end. New posts load automatically - the feed never ends.

Autoplay. Video started before you could choose to watch it.

No back button. The native back gesture was suppressed in the app context.

Exit buried. The only way out appeared after 20 seconds - not upfront.

Each of these design choices increases average session time. Removing autoplay from YouTube reduced session time by ~20% in internal tests.
