What happens here

Load the roller nap evenly with paint by rolling it back and forth in the paint pan. To begin painting, place the loaded roller in the middle of the wall. Roll the paint downwards, but not all the way to the baseboard, then roll it back up towards the ceiling. Repeat this motion, rolling down again, to start distributing the paint.

Goal: Apply first strokes of paint to the wall

at the end of the day, you can just throw the the liner out. And I'm going to load up my nap to lay out this wall. And I'm going to put the nap in the middle of the wall. I'm going roll it down, not all the way. And then roll it back up. Down. Now I'm going to spread the paint out up and down. Then I'm going to lay it out all the way down. Load up my nap again.
