Rage-bait, Outrage Porn, Social Media is a dumpster fire of drama because that’s what people engage with most and online workers, (journalists, streamers, influencers,) are paid by engagement.
so you scroll and scroll and MOST of what you see isn’t useful tips on how to replace your sink faucet or how to remove mold or paint without streaking — you’re not seeing informative helpful information about government and culture, you’re just getting the absolute fucking worst of it.
doomscrolling is continuing through all this shit in the hopes you’ll get something better — you won’t. it’s a cesspool. “touch grass” is important. because otherwise you’re just being told you live in a country full of nazis and illegal aliens trying to make life hell for everyone and that you’ll never make a living, never find love, never succeed at anything, and you’ll die working yourself to the bone while the planet rots from climate emergencies.
