Why do you click on MrBeast videos even when you don't want to? In this sneak peek of We Have A Meeting, Charlie Johnson reveals the dark science of attention engineering. Discover how top creators weaponise curiosity gaps, fear, and dopamine to hijack your brain—and why it has nothing to do with luck.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
The Attention Trap: How curiosity gaps and fear keep you bingeing content.
The MrBeast Formula: Why his dominance is engineered, not accidental.
Viral Cycles: Why audiences are becoming skeptical and what works now.
Psychological Triggers: How your brain is being quietly hijacked every time you press play.
