You can clearly see this in action: open reddit in an incognito tab and half of the posts on the front page are from outrage “porn” subreddits: PublicFreakouts, JusticeServed, instant_regret, IdiotsInCars. Go ahead and try it.
Outrage is highly engaging.
- Dumblydorr 6y agoDoes anyone else just cringe and not enjoy those subreddits? Sometimes, I see a place like twoXchromosomes with an outrage post about mysogyny and even that makes me cringe. I think the top 1% of these topics skimmed off for us will be highly entertaining for many who love outrage porn. I prefer mindless memery and simple jokes to all those outrage posts. I'm not being productive but it doesn't poison my mood.
