I think it's called "doomscrolling".

  That's what I called it just before I deleted Twitter and Facebook. I made a dummy Twitter account to be logged into, that has no friends, just to be able to see links people post. There's no such thing as a dummy Facebook account and I've not looked at anything on Facebook since. The only account there is their shadow account on me, something Twitter has no interest in doing, and which Facebook must do so it can accurately assign accounts to every living human and avoid dummy/sockpuppet accounts.
