I wonder if there might be an internet rule: If you can think of it, there are people who hate each other over it
Look! ^^^ Even these obscure cases just got an iota of precious attention!
Do people who don't hate each other over things get attention?

Not sure if I'd call it an “internet rule”, but a rule of the attention economy (of which the Internet is the primary medium).
This was not a story about bird-watching. I don't know if you're drawing the comparison due to the faintest glimmer of similarity or you think it's about bird-watching. This was not a story that divided people. "Everyone" (that is, everyone who had opinions they wished to express) agreed the woman was a liar and a jerk.
