Time is not on your side
For Colley, the rise in remote living exacerbated mild cybersickness symptoms she had experienced periodically prior to the pandemic. But for most people it’s a totally new facet of spending more time online, so there isn’t much targeted research available yet. Most of our understanding has to be borrowed from virtual reality research.
Typically, though, Stanney says time is not your friend in digital space. A few minutes of scrolling through Instagram, switching between open windows on a laptop, or visiting Netflix to watch one specific show might be benign, but when these activities drag on for hours, as they have under quasi-lockdowns, the persistent motion on the screen can make you queasy.
For instance, you may think you’re at peace lying in bed at night in the serene darkness, totally still but for a finger scrolling through Twitter. But Stanney says, “in fact, lying in bed could probably be one of the worst things to be doing.” Since it’s the most “chilled out” your vestibular system can possibly be, prolonged motion on a screen becomes extra difficult to reconcile.
If you can’t log off, Nalivaiko agrees that changing your field of view by holding your phone differently could help, as well as scrolling more slowly to take control of the frame rate, another nausea-inducing factor of digital motion. His research in animal models also suggests thatcan prevent motion sickness. For Riewe, being trapped in a hot apartment without respite may have spurred his peak symptoms.
Pain sends a straight forward message: Hate that feeling? Well then do not ever hold your hand over a flame again. But nausea is more gradual, nuanced, and unpredictable, especially when tied to an activity that doesn’t seem overtly dangerous, like going for a sail or scrolling through a smartphone.

Technology based on the electricity & one day electricity will be taken away, then Technology Empire will collapse immediately, what all you doing becomes fruitless & waste of time, waste of your faith, purpose of this life isn't doing Technology, but worship to Allah Almighty.
Social media has ruined lives
Indira_L Yes, some of my students experienced motion sickness in Second Life. It is more likely to happen in people with less experience of navigating virtual places/game play.
It’s subliminal programming in some algorithms or for people that are unaware . . .

the only thing about scrolling that makes me sick is the toxicity of twitter xd
There's a subscription block on the article and we can't read it, and that said it seems to miss the chance to communicate to the public.
Get that miserable feeling scrolling through Facebook. Never ending. At least Instagram gives you an 'all caught up' notice.
