Developer Uses Shock Collar to Stop DoomscrollingLiam Kloppers tested an electric shock collar as a radical way to combat doomscrolling. He connected the device to an app that delivered a shock when he opened his social media blacklist.
Even the weak pulse was so intense that Kloppers almost threw his phone at the wall.
"I was now too scared to use my phone. I was also too scared to keep using the collar," he says.
So, he decided to replace the shock with an irritating high-pitched beep.
