I chose to reimagine the infinite scroll on social media.

We all know the feeling. You open your phone and 30 minutes disappear. That's doomscrolling.

Let's not even talk about the guilt and anxiety that comes after.

But what if a simple addition could change how millions of people use social media?

That's why I built Zombie Antidote.

A choice point that appears between videos, turning an unconscious decision into a conscious one.

Design decisions:

→ Mood-based. Makes choosing easy when you're in that low-energy zombie state. → Skippable. You can scroll right past it and keep going. → Session-based. Your choice shapes your feed in the moment. The next day, it resets.

Prototype: Zombie Antidote.

What do you think? Should TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube implement this?

P.S. It's a feature of doomscrolling specifically.
