It feels like Doom Scroller at the time, was created to enhance user experience and it is not pushed to drive further increases in profitability to the point where it is a detriment to society.
I am curious to see if society will move towards providing a tick-box setting to give users control over Doom Scrolling. Only time will tell.
Based on my anecdotal evidence, the major factors that seems to affect regions with high suicide rates are:
- Isolation/ lack of community connection: Isolated individuals tend to have less social feedback loops, which impacts their perception of the world around them.
- Alcohol and Drug abuse: This can be a byproduct of other areas, as an attempt to help alleviate the perceived suffering, boredom, etc. In my opinion, in the long run, alcohol and drug abuse tend to exacerbate the issue.
- Lack of Vitamin D and Sun: A lack in this areas has been associated with increased bouts and feeling of depression, which can increase thoughts of suicide.
The title doesn't seem to be misleading, it seems to be boardline. How would you re-write the title in a way that is engaging and still gets the point across?
