7. **Addiction to "The Reveal":** We're all waiting for that perfect, clean pore. The suspense and the ultimate reveal are undeniably addictive.

9. **It's Weirdly Therapeutic:** Maybe it's the repetitive nature of the extractions, or the visual representation of clearing away imperfections, but many find the process surprisingly therapeutic.
10. **Because It's Just Plain Entertaining:** Let's be real, at the end of the day, these videos are entertaining. They're a guilty pleasure, a distraction, and a reminder that even the smallest things can be oddly captivating.
