...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?
But the difference being, doomscrolling on social media only wastes time while gambling wastes money too (I mean high chances to lose) alongside wasting time. So with aforementioned logic, I'll go with gambling is worse.
is it healthy to engage in these two activities excessively?
Nothing excessively is ever good.
