Ocean acidification tipping point, climate change tipping point, rose of wars and fascism, microplastocs - these are just facts of things that are happening. I feel like doom scrolling would be an exaggeration of things that are happening or will happen, not just reading about reality.

I'd say for it to be considered doom scrolling, it would have to be true things.

    I'd say it has to be things you believe to be true. If a wacko is scrolling for hours on nonsense about how the covid vaccine inserts a mind control chip into your brain and how the leftists are going to come to your small town and force your kids to be trans - then that's still doom scrolling.
