Speedskating is a winter sport that takes place on an ice rink, where skaters line up at the starting line and race to see who is the fastest. There are different types of speedskating, including long track and short track, with races held over various distances. For safety, skaters wear helmets, cut-resistant gloves, knee pads, shin guards, and sometimes neck guards to protect them during falls. Speedskating blades are longer than hockey blades and allow skaters to reach speeds of up to 50 km/h, so safety rules and protective equipment are very important. Overall, speed skating is an exciting, challenging, and thrilling sport to watch and compete in.
I love speedskating!

A social speedster is someone who essentially 'speedruns' through their social media networks, which includes scrolling through their feed like a madman, liking posts with minimum forethought, reading all their PMs under a second, and clicking on one insta story after another without any pause in the middle.
Social speedsters are also highly known for sending a snap in a lightning quick succession. The time it takes to take their phone out of their pocket, enter snapchat, and snapping a pic is only a mere 3 seconds.
Nowadays, most youngsters and young adults are social speedsters. This inclination can have its drawbacks, as a social speedster may zoom through their PMs but not respond to them immediately, and eventually as more PMs build up they might forget about the ones they've already read.

Me: My friends are all social speedsters. You should see how blazing fast they plow their feeds and PMs. Every time I send a message and it gets read and they never reply back, I sometimes question my relationship with them, but then I remember "oh duh, they are social speedsters". Can't blame them entirely, as they are just trying to adapt to today's information-packed, attention-based media.

This "species" can often be seen scrolling endlessly in their Instagram feed, spending no more than one second per post or story. For social speedsters, the act of sending a snap is no more than a 5 second ritualized process. Upon impulse, they whip their phone out of their pockets, instantly jump into snapchat, and without preparation, posts a selfie. And remember this is all within 5 seconds.
But the most characterizing feature that distinguishes social speedsters from regular folks is their expressionless faces when browsing emotion-inducing posts. You'd expect laughter from funny memes or a "wtffff" from controversial/disgusting posts, but nope. Just a deadpan reaction.
Some scholars suggest that social speedsters are more often than not desensitized by all the content (noise) they consume, hence leading them to form an indifferent attitude. Ultimately, the dopamine-rewarding nature of social media is what drives the insanely rapid browsing.
The current largest demographic of social speedsters are: Gen Z, Millennials.
