    常见问题

    Doomscrolling is the specific habit of spending excessive time consuming disturbing news through social media platforms. This behavior often leads to feeling stressed, overstimulated, and emotionally riled up before the day even begins. For approximately 1 in 6 people, this infinite scroll of worry reaches levels of consumption that severely impact their physical and mental well-being, turning digital devices into constant sources of anxiety.

    During the early days of the pandemic, there was a significant spike in how people interacted with their devices. Digital news use jumped by 35%, while social media use increased by nearly 47%. These pandemic news trends highlight how many individuals turned their phones into windows of worry, establishing a gravitational pull toward negative information that often results in vanishing time and increased digital anxiety.

    The infinite scroll creates a gravitational pull that makes it difficult to stop consuming content. Many people intend to check a single notification but find that half an hour has vanished as they fall deeper into news threads. This habit is often triggered first thing in the morning, causing users to carry the weight of global crises and disturbing news before they have even started their daily routines.
