- Doomscrolling and doomsurfing are new terms referring to the tendency to continue to surf or scroll through bad news, even though that news is saddening, disheartening, or depressing. Merriam-Webster
- Example sentence(s)
- Reading through their social media feeds, Americans are likely to encounter anguished accounts of political turmoil, the coronavirus pandemic and continued fallout from cyberattacks, among other less-than-cheerful topics. And yet many can’t stop scrolling even more, perhaps hoping to distract themselves from thinking too hard about any one of these ongoing problems. The practice has earned a suitably apocalyptic nickname: doomscrolling. - Scientific American
by - In a world where we have technology at our fingertips, it can be difficult to turn away from news headlines and social media. Doomscrolling is an obsessive behavior many people can't control. - KStop.com
by - In the face of uncertainty, the search for any certainty can lead us to absorb false, sensationalised information that builds our anxiety. The endless void of social media can often lead to us feeling less in control than ever. Isolation, depression, stress, and disrupted sleep – this is the impact doomscrolling has on us. - The Boar

- Ce terme, qui signifie littéralement “faire défiler son écran vers le bas jusqu'à la fin du monde”, décrit le fait de consulter compulsivement son smartphone, tout particulièrement au moment de se coucher, voire une partie de la nuit. Pendant le confinement, les gens ont ressenti un besoin normal de s'informer qui s'est souvent transformé en consultation frénétique d'énormes quantités d'information, en une recherche incessante de nouvelles, la plupart du temps de mauvaises nouvelles. France Soir - by Renvi Ulrich
- Example sentence(s)
- Les réseaux sociaux et leurs algorithmes encouragent la navigation compulsive en période de pandémie. - France Soir
