That is not true. Look up the definition of doomscrolling and most sources (e.g. wikipedia) will say that it tends to be negative content.


Most sources, but not all! To me, watching 8 hours of puppies, kittens and rainbows in a day would have a pretty negative impact on my life. That kind of content is negative when it becomes excessive. Heroin feels really good when you use it too. Doesn't make it a positive thing.


You are free to use a word however you'd like, but that doesn't change the popular definition and usage of that word.
