Viewer Guidance

Notice retention tactics

Content structure prioritizes keeping you watching over informing you. Ask if the format serves understanding or attention.

Watch for emotional framing

This content frequently uses emotional appeal. Notice when feelings are being prioritized over evidence.

Consider alternative frames

Information is consistently shaped from one angle. Seek out how other sources present the same facts.
