Stop Scrolling, Start Watching
By Based team · Updated Feb 2026
Endless scrolling feels productive, but it almost never leads to a great choice. The longer you browse, the more you lose the original vibe you wanted. Decision fatigue is real, and it kicks in fast.
The fix is simple: reduce options, decide quickly, and move on. A tight list with clear reasons will beat a giant feed every time.
Decision shortcuts
- Cap your options at five or fewer. More than that is a trap.
- Pick based on mood first, genre second. Mood is faster.
- Trust the first pick that feels right. Momentum matters.
If you are still debating after two minutes, you have too many choices. Cut the list in half and pick from what is left.
How Based helps
Based surfaces a tight set of picks and explains why they fit. The goal is to reduce thinking and increase watching. You see a short list, you read a short reason, and you hit play.
Based is built to break the scroll loop. It gives you the top options and a clear “why” so you can decide and move on.
Open Based, choose the top pick, and hit play within two minutes.
