doomscrolling

GBK English to Persian (Farsi) Social Sciences Journalism
Definition from Merriam-Webster:
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.
Example sentences:
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)
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)
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)
