Yeah, I understand this feeling. It's certainly very easy to addicted to 'news' and information shared online, especially on social media sites.
And it's even easier if you're a journalist/blogger/YouTuber/content creator. In those fields your very popularity and social standing depends on how up to date with current trends you are, and sites like Twitter promise to provide said information.
So you end up spending hours there every day, desparately chasing after everything even remotely considered 'newsworthy' so you can get an article or video about it out online. Social media is like crack for content creators, and something that will almost inevitably end up taking over their whole life until they burn out.
But still, what can you do? The algorithms demand regular posts and updates, and anyone who can't provide them will sink without a trace. And you're certainly not gonna understand what's popular at the moment if you're not keeping up with it all.
