How It Works
Hoovering is named after the vacuum — it sucks you back in. Structural patterns include: manufactured urgency ('I need to tell you something important'), false change claims ('I've been doing the work'), nostalgia weaponization ('remember when we...'), and triangulation ('someone told me you...'). Our scanner identifies which pattern is operating.
