What is doomscrolling exactly?

250 viewsOther

I hear it all the time and I always thought it is when you can’t stop scrolling? And it’s a bad thing too. So could you maybe give an example and explain what it is and say why it is so bad?

It’s used to refer to spending a lot of time scrolling news, especially on social media, and especially bad news.

The term gained notoriety around the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, when people would get addicted to scrolling through stories of people getting sick, the body counts rising, pictures of hospitals etc for hours at a time.
