I mean most research is trying to figure out things we think are intuitive, but I actually find it somewhat interestingly. It says negative content, not news, so I wonder how this compares to say heavy metal or horror movies where people may use negative offline content in a way that may help process negative emotions.
- MantisShrimp90 2y agoI mean, fair enough, I'll give you the point. Your point about the horror movies is a good perspective as well and as a philosophy graduate I love your reframing. But I also think we both know how most people are going to take this so it feels hard to revel in these fun, but small little questions.
- techfeathers 2y agoI’m actually sort of interested in the contrast. I think you’re right, that it is sort of obvious that doomscrolling news is bad for mental health, and it’s a sad change.
