Doomscrolling or doomsurfing is the act of spending an excessive amount of time reading large quantities of user-generated content or news, particularly negative news, on the web and social media

basically doomscrolling is aimlessly scrollig through social media without any real intentions. being on social media also generates dopamine which is the same happy hormone that gambling can give you. we both doomscroll or gamble when we are bored. what do you think is worse, gambling or doomscrolling?

is it healthy to engage in these two activities excessively?
Sometimes we need something like doomscrolling or slots. As for me, i prefer a half an hour of slots after hard day than doomscrolling. For me it is better to spend some small sum, than to concentrate some attention on social media - after it i willn`t rest.
But the main thing we have to remember that it is a tool that we can use, but this tool mustn`t control us.
