Description
You need to stop scrolling. The problem is that many of us simply can't. The next thing is always one swipe away, even when we don't know what we're looking for, and the people who build these feeds have studied exactly why.
In this video, I explore the science of the doomscroll and show you what the habit is quietly costing your mood, your sleep, and the way you see the world. Then I hand the off-switch back to you.
