It's wild to me that people aren't more coginizant of the fact that social media platforms will artificially promote rage bait to increase active use of their platforms. They're either too stupid to realize this, or too ignorant to care otherwise. Thus, a negative feedback loop ensues. I see it even with YouTube, pushing me extreme right-wing content simply because I watched something that was considered more center-right. And if I were to watch the recommended content, it'd keep exacerbating what fringe narratives are sent my way. These social media platforms and mainstream media are the bane of civilization. At some point in time, when our modern society lay in ruin, and if there are any free-thinking people still alive who are capable of independent, critical-thinking they will likely come to the conclusion that corporatocracy was the downfall of mankind.
