Your captions are a smooth ride. That's the problem. Smooth gets scrolled.

Your captions are a smooth ride. That's the problem. Smooth gets scrolled.

Engineer a pattern interrupt with this:

— Drop a one-word line. Mid-caption. Like this.
— Reverse an expected sentence. Lead with the conclusion, not the setup.
— Break the visual rhythm: a long line, then three short ones.
— Plant one line that makes them go "wait, what?"

Comfort is the enemy. Every smooth caption is a permission slip to scroll.
