That's not what I thought doom scrolling meant. I thought it specifically referred to the existential doom of endless scrolling for a dopamine hit.

In 2025 it's fair to say it's just scrolling. The doom part is implied.

Very much depends on what content you consume. The shy has always been falling, but there's plenty of other stories.

The sky has been falling for a while, but the chunks were much smaller.
