Do you still have problems with doomscrolling addiction?

> Do you still have problems with doomscrolling addiction?

The new twitter algorithm fixed that for me. They made the feed so fundamentally uninteresting and full of slop* that the issue resolved itself.

I now doomscroll slack and discord

* by slop I mean content written for the sake of being content.

I only doomscroll HN to 90 n times/day
Is it doomscrolling though?
There are several different definitions of that word, some of which would reasonably apply to hn. I am glad it doesn't have infinite scroll but it also (front page) changes fairly slowly so I do not develop an urge to check it every few minutes.
It is for me. I come here to read how fucked we are in the age of AI. It's compulsive.
