I think it's somewhere in "the art of war" where it says: Those who you let to 
govern your emotions shall rule you forever. Making somebody aggravated or 
afraid are powerful emotions to get their attention. A lot of the social media 
algorithms are geared towards this. Boosting content that gets people upset is 
the way to get them watching your content (and your adds). 

This leads to a society where our views are distorted by our perception of 
reality that is governed by content creators who bait on fear and anger to get 
clicks. Our view of and response to the covid pandemic was influenced by this. 
This leads us to a sort of societal mass-histeria where our response is not in 
proportion with the actual facts.
