We have a successful app where an early key was a satisfying button, so I get the interest in that. But if you're up against the current boom social app not requiring interaction beyond quick swipes/taps, you'll want to absolutely minimise friction in your own effort. And cover less content. No need for a modal with the slider and ugly buttons. Just have 5 face emoji circles hovering over the content. Think about how Reels look for Instagram - fullscreen content with floating interface.
