A big reason why I engaged less in PDW is that it exhibited the same damage as doom-scrolling any other social media platform: Twitter, Facebook, etc.
Go look up the psychological effects of doom-scrolling. It doesn't matter what the political leaning is, or what the topic of the website is.
Like many posters on this forum reminds us: we are in a war. Go read some history. The winning strategies are no different from life, or any other endeavour: always consider the long-term cost-benefit analysis. If all you do is emotionally react to forum thread titles, and do this for too long without a break, then you lose sight of long-term thinking.
I agree. Too many on here are social media whores. Its like a popularity contest. Putting a post on here that has already been posted 10 times because you feel so important that you think everyone wants to hear how you say the same thing.
For example... going on here this morning and there are at least 20 posts about Trump going to Palestine.
