dooming
Ensuring tragic end
Dooming is condemning to a grim fate or inevitable failure.
The word implies sealing someone's destiny, usually badly: His confession was dooming him to a life sentence.
In internet slang, dooming (or doomscrolling) describes obsessively consuming negative news: I spent the evening dooming on Twitter.
