Yeah, kinda the entire state of discourse and why anyone not terminally online hates talking about anything in proximity of political or controversial. The only people you see blow up in attention are those so derogatory, shameless, and degenerate who are well passed caring about social consideration and manners in debate or conversation. It's literally just about the concept of ratio and "I have more invisible people giving me gratification than you". Social media gave birth to the concept that anyone can be important for long enough to get high on the feeling, and it's fucking dismal for a functional society.

I fear you're going to see gen alpha kids, who are consuming this at a rate far greater than any previous generation, will become just braindead. I've already seen it where a lot of 11-13 year old kids I know still act like they're 6 and parrot memetic shit that has no meaning beyond just being something repeated to them during their parental granted 6 hours of screentime.
