Oooh, good to see it that you made it over from Reddit. I tend to avoid linking my account names -- one more thing to make life difficult for eventual data-mining -- but you probably know me as an American who comments rather a lot on /r/Europe. Saw you comment on the /r/ModCoord thread on all this too, hoped that you might show up here. :-)
I'm assuming most of the doomscrolling content comes from bots. It's all articles with clickbait titles auto-posted by the social media arm of news/blog/journal/etc. sites, then upvoted by bots for visibility to try to lure as many people in as possible for that sweet ad revenue.
