Bloom scrolling

When you are reading stories or looking at memes that are genuinely positive. The opposite of doom scrolling.

I spend 30 minutes a day bloom scrolling to remember there's still good in the world.

Phantom Scrolling

When you doom scroll so much, you no longer watch YouTube shorts for entertainment, you just do it because you are addicted to the scrolling motion. Excessive exposure may result in endless scrolling through any app that has shorts, including but not limited to LinkedIn.

Please help me. Seriously, this is a cry for help. I’ve been doom scrolling so much that now I am now phantom scrolling.

soft scrolling

When you are scrolling instagram reels, tiktok or other short term video formats in a relaxed state of mind. You sometimes watch entire videos without knowing why and while being uninterested. You click on profiles and scroll through feeds without any clear reason. The most relaxed type of scrolling, and is the opposite of hard scrolling.

Bro I was in my bed brain rotting all day yesterday, I was soft scrolling reels for like 8 hours. I spent like 3 of those on kazakhstani horse training videos.

Oh I love to aimlessly soft scroll!
