Mindless Doomscrolling
2 comments
For me it ia around 60per and it is really bad. I would go to depression if i was not able to scroll and get that dopamine. Went to therapy and now i think it is in control but sometimes i feel like i need that scrolling because i am not able to interact with my friends on a social platform. Trying my best to get rid of it permanently by deleting the accounts. And working on personal growth.
it's hard, although i would try to say that consumer social is actually just consumer consumption these days. yes we do see random stories of our friends here and there, but what's the likelyhood of us engaging with them? and what's the likelihood we'd click on that reels button and keep consuming reels for hours.
glad you're working on personal growth :)

i personally have spent closer to 5k hours of my life doomscrolling through tiktok. and i'm on the healthier end compared to the average american 21 year old. i delete the app, redownload, & blockers really never work for me.
i think there's .1% of value that's provided by these content, or sometimes you want to wind down and actually let the algorithm take control of your mind. we all know the problem, but if you can put a number on how much this is hurting your life? what would that be?
this is a serious problem i want to fix, before having kids. all research points to the fact that doomscrolling leads to less critical thinking of the mass population & many other problems we as a society face today.
