______________________________________________

When you wake up, with no efforts you are right to your phone and starts scrolling social media. And the only news you spot is of pandemic or negativity which for sure gasp all your energy, to contradicts some people even try to kill this practice but they end up scrolling more.

According to American NPR, this practice is old but the term is new. The reason social media is so obsessive is figured by the story of Pigeon and a skinner box, which many of you might have read. Today we are pigeon and we social media a skinner box which urge us to refresh the feed to see what reward came in the form of comment and like on photos.

So the algorithms of social media are designed the way we spent more time on - whether it's good or bad actually it's nasty for us but good for them. Reports by National Center of Biotechnology says "These third rated news are good for grabbling the attention of users. And Social Media states that #feel-good# content is bad for them. "

IS IT POSSIBLE TO STOP THIS BIAS 🤔🤔??

Probably not, everyone says 'we can stop this shit from now, but they find themselves scrolling and more scrolling' even I'm doing so. And i feel this is quite natural in this pandemic - in which most of us are in depression. And next time when you find yourself doomscrolled don't feel bad it's not your fault, it's the structure of #Social Media.
