> For the uninitiated, doomscrolling is essentially when one passively scrolls through endless feeds of content on social media until eventually stopping to realize that they've wasted the last five minutes of their life doing something entirely unproductive.
This is wrong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomscrolling
"Doomscrolling or doomsurfing is the act of spending an excessive amount of time reading large quantities of news, particularly negative news, on the web and social media."
In other words, doomscrolling is about scrolling the bad news, specifically. Like covid-19 or war.
