Kinda but it was always very limited. If you had a subscription then you would read what you have, but that would probably be only a few magazines a month. If you were in some waiting room you might “doom scroll” but only until you are done waiting. The closest thing would be heavy readers who would read books for hours and always have another on the list. But you can hardly call reading a book “doom scrolling”. So really, doom scrolling is limited to digital content, Usually social media.
