Simple, I don't get knee deep into politics and whatever everyone else is doom scrolling on.
you've heard about global warming though, right? You don't exactly need to doomscroll to at least have an intellectual understanding of what kind of situation we're in.
Key word here being "intellectual". It's important to recognize the issues and think of how we can affect the solution, but this is not what media at large provides or induces. It sews panic, doom, and ultimately loss of agency.
