Michael Storen declares bedrock the end of doomscrolling

His Minecraft-themed stop sign has viewers pointing out a timing problem: some had barely started scrolling.

Channel: Michael Storen Story of November 9, 2026Trari Newsroom

Why this story? The video drew 9,830 comments in its first day, 7.8 times a normal first day on this channel (1,256).

You have reached bedrock!

Michael Storen holds up a tiny microphone and delivers an announcement from the bottom of the feed: "You have scrolled so far that you have reached bedrock."

Behind him, Minecraft blocks supply the supposed stopping point. His Short, "You have reached bedrock!", turns an endless scroll into a journey with a final destination, then gives the viewer a straightforward instruction: "Use this as a sign to put your phone down." He signs off by addressing them as a traveler who cannot go any further.

The comments immediately find exceptions. Several viewers say this was their first or second Short, making Michael's intervention comically premature. Others play along with the Minecraft logic, joking about bringing out redstone components or digging beyond the barrier. One imagines escaping the instruction simply by switching to Instagram.

That response is what makes this upload stand out: it drew nearly 10,000 comments on its first day, almost eight times Michael's usual tally for Shorts, while views were ordinary for his channel.

Among the loopholes are viewers thanking him for the reminder to stop. Michael has made a video that asks people to leave their phones alone, and given them plenty to type about before they do.

The numbers

The unusual activity is in the comments: first-day views were typical for Michael's Shorts, but the conversation was much busier.
