Doomscrolling or doomsurfing is the act of spending an excessive amount of time reading large quantities of news, particularly negative news, on the web and social media. The concept was coined around 2020, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Doomscrolling can also be defined as the excessive consumption of short-form videos or social media content for an excessive period of time without stopping.
