Doomscroll sustainably by scrolling up and reusing doom you've already seen

Digital-wellness coaches recommend greyscale mode, app timers, and a small wooden lockbox for your phone, priced at slightly more than the phone.

Simply scroll up instead. Everything above your thumb is pre-owned doom — already read, already survived — making it fully recyclable. Our researchers found second-hand dread contains 40% less novelty at identical scroll speeds, and the thumb workout is unchanged. The feed logs it all as engagement, which is why the board scored this one with its eyes closed.
