Why Satisfying Videos Hook Your Brain

Your brain is literally wired to get addicted to satisfying videos. When you watch perfectly aligned dominos

fall or sand being cut smoothly, your brain floods with dopamine, the same chemical

released when you eat chocolate or get a like on social media. Scientists discovered

that repetitive, predictable patterns trigger your reward system because they signal safety and

order to your primitive brain. This is why millions of people lose hours scrolling through

oddly satisfying content, unable to look away. Your ancient survival instincts are being

hijacked by modern videos designed to exploit this exact neurological loophole,

turning a simple clip into an irresistible dopamine loop.
