doomscrolling refers to the act of consuming a large amount of online content to an excessive degree.
why do people doomscroll in the first place?
a lot of people would say that they use their smartphones in times of stress, to calm their racing minds.
i think it's a good reason, but i also think you can easily become addicted, even if you feel like you're in control.
in an ideal world, whenever we have free time, we can imagine ourselves cleaning our whole houses, and reading hard literature.
but in reality, when we're too tired to do anything productive, often we don't want to do anything at all.
