This is pretty interesting. We should all know this by now, but it's a nice reminder. Outrage sells, and when sites must increase clicks and "engagement," they will necessarily be generating outrage.

Did these websites and social networks just discover that "outrage sells" or they've conditioned us to get more and more outrageous?!! It's kinda hard to tell!

I use the phrase "engagement or enragement, they still get you".
