gambling vs doomscrolling

[Bright0515]

Neither gambling or doomscrolling is good for long term or has any well being purposes.Gambling deals to financial losses and careless addiction, doomscrolling engages psychological declination.On a health perspective,it's just better you don't engage in either of them, they're both damaging and draining activities.

I will still go for gambling instead of doomscrolling in this regard, because gambling has its benefits of relieving us from stress and getting us entertained, because we are of purpose in choosing to be a gambler and to be playing bets in it, but doomscrolling could be interpreted on many basis after a long time influence on someone, especially when you cant phantom on a single achievement that has come our way as a result of doomscrolling.

Doomscrolling doesn't really mean you are not getting entertained while you are scrolling on the Internet or in social media. Doomscrolling is just like you don't really know why you are scrolling the Internet or social media but you are but at some point you like what you are watching or what you are reading. If incase you are not getting entertained you will eventually stop just the way you gamble and you lose too often you will eventually stop playing. In gamble when you lose there's always a higher chance that you waste your money and your time but doomscrolling only waste your time but your money still remains on your account.

But gambling can also give you a hard time. Instead of being entertained and relieving your stress, it could make you feel more stressful and that's because of you possibly going into a losing streak. That's hard to control and we don't know if that's going to make sense if we want to get entertained and yet, we're on a continuous losing and no matter how hard we want to recover, we just can't. It happens and we are out of control with that. Doomscrolling is just nothing compared to it but you don't stake anything by doing it unlike gambling.

No matter how long you spend doomscrolling, it wouldn't cost you anything. Instead, you will be entertained. It's just that it can make you forget or not being sensitive to things around you because you will be carried away with it. Gambling is a no go area when done excessively because you will lose money, and you might become addicted if you are not careful.

Infinite scrolling is much worse than anything in my opinion, people just keep scrolling through posts all day long and that is their priority over having a real conversation with a person next to them. It changed how humans interact but gambling existed for centuries and it causes problem who is not being responsible but they have the choice to stop or they will be forced to when they have nothing to wager but scrolling, it's free and we will be acting like zombies.

Yep, I haven't see a news where someone steal money or hurt someone to get money to buy internet package for doomscrolling. I only see a news doomscrolling people are suffered depression and mental health, although it's bad, but they don't hurt many people (they hurt their close people though).

While gambling, anyone can be a target.

The effect of gambling could be bad, hence people have to control themselves.

At the end of it, if we didn't plan to gamble and the entire gameplay that we do including the bankroll, we're only putting more stress to ourselves. It's hard to accept defeat when someone is currently experiencing that. While the others might say that accepting defeat is easier than ever. But they can only tell that because they're not yet in the situation. Frustration comes after losing and we all know about that because we've been there. So, become responsible and always go after with the plan that we have come up or else, worse things will come after that if your plans are not followed.

Personally, when I gamble, I always keep in mind that it is for entertainment only and I must derive fun from it. And for this, I always set aside a small percentage of my income in advance. Sometimes, I play with it and the fund runs out, and sometimes, even after the month ends, the fund doesn't run out.
But yes, even with this fund, when I lose in gambling, I feel a little bad about my loss, but I never get stressed about that loss. But on the others hand a classmate of mine got addicted to gambling a few years ago and spent his tuition fee there and later borrowed from someone else to pay the tuition fee but he also spent that money on gambling and finally lost all the funds and got stressed and committed suicide by taking sleeping medicine due to that stress. So we have to remember these dangerous aspects and gamble carefully.

You only kill time when you doomscroll and you're right that it will not cost you anything at all but only your time and energy without money.

What you do is correct. You set aside some profits whenever you can and that is being forgotten by many gamblers why they even gamble in the first place. And I also know former friends and classmates of mine that have spent their money on gambling and that's because they're still young and don't understand the hardship of their parents just to earn that money.

[bubilas]

Perhaps even more correctly the topic of this thread will sound not like "Trading vs doom scrolling". But like "checking the price of bitcoin every minute vs doomscrolling". I did it myself, and I know many traders who did the same when they invested in bitcoin. After investing, they began to check the price of bitcoin every minute and hope that tomorrow they will wake up very rich. And this is also clearly an abnormal state, like doom scrolling.

What your friends are actually doing is actually irresponsible gambling, and I never prefer to do this type of gambling. I always try to gamble with a small percentage of my own earned funds that I can afford to lose and at the same time do not cause me mental stress due to losing that money.
I will tell you that if your friends cannot earn their own income, then you should suggest them not to gamble, because the first rule of gambling is that we should only spend as much money as we can afford to lose. Now if your friends do not earn any income and gamble with their parents' money, then that is definitely stupidity.

is it healthy to engage in these two activities excessively?

They are both different in every way and can't be compared to each other, gambling tends to be more addicting while giving that happy hormones of excitement but doom scrolling you tend to surf the net or social media and see through happenings around the world without being addicted and it's very healthy to engage in both activities but the control measures matters but then gambling is worse than doom scrolling.

[davis196]

Doomscrolling or doomsurfing is the act of spending an excessive amount of time reading large quantities of user-generated content or news, particularly negative news, on the web and social media

basically doomscrolling is aimlessly scrollig through social media without any real intentions. being on social media also generates dopamine which is the same happy hormone that gambling can give you. we both doomscroll or gamble when we are bored. what do you think is worse, gambling or doomscrolling?

is it healthy to engage in these two activities excessively?

Doomscrolling is a brainrot activity, but at least you don't lose any money doing it. Of course gambling is the worst form of addiction, because it can ruin your financial situation(not only yours, but your family's financial situation as well). I can say that I'm not addicted to doomscrolling. I did it a couple of times and it's extremely boring. I don't get any dopamine boost out of it. Watching an informative video on Youtube is way better than pointless doomscrolling. I don't know why do you have to compare it with gambling. There's nothing in common.
Social media freakin' sucks. I've used Tik Tok for a while and I've lost any interest in this piece of crap social media platform. Gambling is a better(if done with caution).

If used excessively, both have equally harmful effects. But when it comes to more profound negative effects, it seems gambling has the worse. Gambling involves money for pleasure and can increase excessive dopamine levels, which can lead to addiction and, more seriously, suicide, robbery, or other crimes.

On the other hand, the impact of scrolling is less severe, and I generally know that people who scroll frequently are lazy, unwilling to do anything and always slow down when doing work.

From these differences, it seems clear that the worst effects can occur with gambling.

When you play with pocket money, you're less responsible, but you can still consider it their money because when they receive it from their parents, it becomes theirs. When my parents gave me pocket money so I could eat at school, I'd sometimes put it aside when I wasn't hungry, and that way I had my own savings. I remember from a young age, I loved having my own money and not rushing to spend it. These are habits we develop from childhood, but now children are taught from a very early age to spend time on social media and doomscrolling, and that's bad.

People should avoid 2 things. Out of these, the second thing should be avoided the most. Because the second thing is associated with loss of wealth and waste of time. Those who gamble can lose their wealth along with time and if they become too addicted to it, they can get involved in various types of criminal activities to earn money from gambling. And the first thing is social media scrolling. If someone does not have enough time and if it becomes more important for him to do other things, then I think it is advisable not to scroll unnecessarily. But a person can use social media to eliminate loneliness and can get various information and learn from it. And if he is scrolling unnecessarily, then only his time is being wasted here. Therefore, the second thing should be avoided before the first thing.

It doesn't even engage your brain just makes you tired and bored while destroying your eyes. Doomscrolling makes no sense. It's like boredom fueled by boredom. You try to fight the feeling by fooling your brain, making it think you're doing something. In reality you're still being bored to death just by your own actions.

I'd rather gamble. At least you can get some money out of it, even if it bores you.

It's true, brother, everyone knows that when someone gives money to someone, it becomes theirs. From this perspective, when parents give pocket money to their children, that pocket money becomes their own money. But here, the children are dependent on their parents, and in this situation, most of the children are underage. So, from this perspective, gambling at that time is nothing but foolishness.

No matter how logical it may be, I would never recommend that children who don't have a job or have no income of their own gamble with the pocket money given by their parents.

I consider them both as identical things, i don't see any differences between the two but only ways to spend time
Clearly, if you spend a whole day scrolling, it's as if you were eating away at the time that we remember as the most precious resource of all.

But it's more better because you are checking up on your treasure, you can not compare it to gambling and scrolling on the social media all day, with the hope of making money from it even when the money is not coming, but when you invest on bitcoin and you check all day, it's not bad, there's a saying that where your treasure in hidden, that's where your mind will be always.

Even if it is "their" money, if you let your children squander money on stupid shit you are just a bad parent. It is no surprise that most adults are unable to control their spending habits and have zero financial literacy. Their parents didn't teach them anything worthwhile.

No matter how logical it may be, I would never recommend that children who don't have a job or have no income of their own gamble with the pocket money given by their parents.

It is illegal for children to gamble, so this does not make sense at all.

Of course, injecting heroin all day long is identical to eating apples all day long. I don't see any differences they are only ways to spend time. 

But it's more better because you are checking up on your treasure, you can not compare it to gambling and scrolling on the social media all day, with the hope of making money from it even when the money is not coming, but when you invest on bitcoin and you check all day, it's not bad, there's a saying that where your treasure in hidden, that's where your mind will be always.

Wrong. All studies that have been correctly conducted on this topic confirm that checking the charts often is very bad for your health. Whether it is worse or not from scrolling or gambling is up for debate.

Well, it must be said that even if things seem so different, they can be very similar to each other. Both are a kind of addiction, but one can also make you lose money if not managed well. Not everyone can detach themselves from this thing that can be addictive. You have to learn from an early age to manage these things.

Well, time is worth more than money. So if you spend all your time doomscrolling then that is the same as losing all they money you could have made in that time.

And then again, when you gamble, not only do you lose money, you also lose time. So you are losing potential money as well as earned money.

So out of the two, I would say gambling is probably worse, but it depends on how much you gamble and how much you doomscroll. It really depends on the quantity. As the great philosopher and medical practitioner Paracelsus once said: The dose makes the poison.
