Well human lived just fine before endless weekly, daily, hourly and up to minute news came in. If bad things are happening or will happen it will reach to people in physical form that is much more actionable.

A lot of other people you mention they are not some kind self-less humanitarians. They are mostly agenda driven partisans looking to rile people and treat everything as game to win. One clear way to win is to not play their game.

Another real joke is 90% of people who write or read news are not solving any real problem. They read news and then go on spew their rants on social media and hector people in doing things where they have no business.
