What is Doomscrolling?
Doomscrolling is the compulsive habit of endlessly scrolling through negative or emotionally charged content on social media — even when it makes you feel worse.
TikTok's algorithm is engineered to keep you watching. Every swipe triggers a dopamine micro-hit, creating a feedback loop that's incredibly hard to break.
The average TikTok session lasts 10.85 minutes — but 1 in 4 users exceed 46 minutes per session.
