I think it's a voyeuristic tendency of some people to watch other people work. You can join a few dozen Slack channels, and peek in on them constantly, similar to twitter or reddit.

Maybe a desire to find drama? Vs focus on your own "boring" problem. The funny thing is, it can make you feel productive!

If that's true, then it's in no way Slack that is the problem. I can't help but think there has to be something more.

Slack is an enabler, making it easier. Same as any social media.
