Everyones addicted to scrolling and wont admit it - jasonust - Sep 21, 2025
It’s wild how people say they “don’t have time” but spend 6+ hours doomscrolling daily. Doesn’t matter if it’s TikTok, X, or even here — everyone’s cooked by algorithms.
Lowkey makes me think discipline is the new flex. Most people literally can’t log off.
Prove me wrong.

Yeah that's true. I do the same, I feel like I'm stopping my thoughts and just relax. But the truth is we force our minds to work overtime 😆 and the dopamine we produce will leave us exhausted when we're done.

So everyone with ADHD is cooked? Because 6+ hours of scrolling isn't your normal cat lmao.

This is why I don't use social media. Literally gives you the attention span of a damn gnat. The guy who implemented the idea of a "scroll feed" even regrets it now because of how social media companies are using it and how it's negatively impacting the vast majority of people that use social media.

I agree. I'll admit that the only version of social media I kinda use is Facebook, which I only pay attention to when the missus suggests something, or if I'm bored enough, I'll politely troll my "friends".
I have accounts with other sites, but I don't use them. Pretty much the only reason I made them was out of utter boredom when I was much younger.

Yeah i somewhat agree. I think it all depends

I've been addicted to the internet since 1995. It used to be super weird. Now you're telling me it's most people?
During the 2020 lockdowns I was afraid my internet would be knocked out because everyone would get online... but instead they were..........baking??? And fist fighting over flour and toilet paper in the stores while I ordered groceries online? 🤯

I admit it tbh. I recently broke my main phone and my backup phone in one week lmao. Actually gonna use it as an opportunity to detox from scrolling.

That's why I install AI on my servers and play / read with their stories, better way to pass the time! 😆✌
