Why Your Screen Time Could Be an Investor's Goldmine
Let’s be honest with ourselves for a moment. How many times today have you picked up your phone for no reason at all, only to find yourself scrolling through an endless feed twenty minutes later? It’s not a personal failing, you know. It’s by design. The most valuable commodity in the 21st century isn’t gold or oil, it’s our attention, and some of the cleverest companies on the planet have built empires on capturing it.

I find it fascinating, in a slightly unnerving way, how these digital platforms are engineered. They aren't just accidentally entertaining. They are meticulously crafted using decades of behavioural psychology to be, in industry parlance, "sticky". Think of the infinite scroll. It’s a simple trick, removing any natural endpoint, any cue for your brain to say, "right, that's enough". It’s the digital equivalent of a bottomless bowl of crisps.
Then they add a sprinkle of what psychologists call a variable reward schedule. You pull down to refresh your feed, and you don't know what you'll get. It might be a brilliant video, a message from a friend, or absolutely nothing of interest. This unpredictability triggers the same dopamine pathways in our brains as a slot machine. It’s no wonder the average person now spends a rather terrifying number of hours glued to a screen. Companies like Meta have turned this into a fine art, using algorithms to learn precisely what will keep you hooked.

This mastery of engagement isn't just limited to social media. The streaming and gaming worlds have been paying close attention. I remember when television meant waiting until Thursday at 9 pm for your favourite show. Now, platforms like Roku act as a central hub, not just showing you content but learning your habits to suggest what you should watch next, keeping you on the sofa for just one more episode.
The gaming industry, with companies like Playtika, is perhaps the grandmaster of this psychological game. They build entire worlds designed to encourage daily play, with challenges, social competitions, and virtual collections. The games are often free to start, which is a clever way to get you in the door. The real money, for them, comes from the small in-app purchases that help you progress a little faster or get that shiny new virtual item. It’s a remarkably effective model, and from an investor's point of view, it can create some rather predictable revenue streams once a player is hooked.

So, where is the opportunity in all of this for an investor? It’s quite simple, really. The business models are built on a direct line between our engagement and their profits. More time spent scrolling means more ads seen. A deeper investment in a game makes a small purchase more likely. A streaming service that knows exactly what you want to watch is one you’re less likely to cancel. It’s this powerful combination of psychology and technology that underpins the investment case for a collection of companies, sometimes grouped together as Can't Stop, Won't Stop Addictive Products.
Of course, nothing in investing is a sure thing. Regulators are starting to peer over their spectacles at these business models, and there’s always the risk that we, the users, might suddenly develop a collective sense of digital wellness. But for now, the trend seems clear. The battle for our attention is one of the defining economic stories of our time, and the companies winning that battle have built formidable, data-driven machines. It’s a reality worth considering, perhaps the next time you find yourself lost in that endless scroll.
