Omg, in 3 and half km I realized, that rankings are only for mobile devices! Is there really someone, who scrolled more than 35 km just by using his finger??

Sorry ;) Yes, recording is only possible on mobile devices, because otherwise it's far too easy to reach long distances. It's very easy to bypass scrolling on a workstation! And yes, some people have scrolled for an hour and a half :P

Tbh, I tried to fake the scrolling as well :D First with the infinet scrolling wheel on my mouse, then with a short console script :D But well played with mobile only recording! You are also totally right with the comparison to instagram scrolling. Same useless thing. Thank you, your "app" is great!

Thank you so much for your feedback ;) I really appreciate it! And yes, that's the goal, to criticise endless scrolling on social media. Thank you for your kind words.

We're not expecting anything, we're scrolling ;)
