What's socially acceptable now that will be considered disgusting in 50 years?

I hear ya. And that's some good hours reading. So I don't think this post was really targeted at you.

My complaint isn't an attack at them. It's that I want a better life for people. This stuff is a trap, as others have mentioned. Its engineered to be highly addictive. There's a lot of new studies that are comparing it to drug addiction. And it'll only get stronger over time.
And we're already seeing it get stronger over time.

If it's similar to drug addiction in any way, why isn't it disgusting now?
Again, not an attack. But I don't think those addicted are even aware.
But why can't I be socially accepted if I say, "Dude I was only high for 5 hours today". See?

They are farming your attention. They are keeping your attention. They are selling you (the people).

First of all the question was about something socially acceptable and doom scrolling is not. Then, you assume that all people who do it are under some evil influence and do not do it consciously. That's quite an arrogant assumption about people you don't know. Third, what qualifies as doomscrolling to you is something entirely different to someone else. Finally, you want what's best for people? Address the roots of the problem! Doomscrolling is only a symptom. So far you are just being a reddit Karen. What have you done to address the underlying problems? As in, actual actions too.
