Outrage yields clicks/revenue. So there is a financial incentive for media and influencers to fuel extreme narratives.

With that said, there are truths and lessons to be learned on the internet. I think it's possible to take that benefit without developing an overly negative outlook on everything.

It’s not media and influencers doing this, though. It’s Reddit comments and chronically online peers in their Discords.

Weirdly enough, streamers like Primeagen are actually disabusing juniors of some of these notions.

It’s the grassroots commentary sowing the seeds of discontent.
