Doom-scrolling and Psychological Warfare

Doom-scrolling
The practice of obsessively checking online news for updates, especially on social media feeds, with the expectation that the news will be bad, such that the feeling of dread from this negative expectation fuels a compulsion to continue looking for updates in a self-perpetuating cycle.
Stop doom-scrolling!

Thanks for watching!

Good stuff, sir. I find myself doom-scrolling too often, and it definitely takes a toll on one's mental health.

Yeah it sucks. My problem is looking for confirmation and views similar to mine. Luckily, my dicernment allows me to skip the manipulation. I love the video format for learning. And I'm not surrounded by anyone to have a conversation on what I'm being made aware of and many haven't a clue. So my tribe has become people I've never met.

'THEY' get their power from the simple fact that we keep tuning in...

I don't own a smart phone, but a really old fashioned flip phone. I already spend too much time on the computer and I would rather my time away from the computer be time away from the computer. That being said, I need to lessen my time on the regular computer as well, for the reasons that you mentioned.
I noticed that you bowed your head when saying Our Lord's name which is very commendable.
