I have a nasty addiction to Reddit's r/publicfreakout. A few years back, it was mostly people getting angry and making fools of themselves in public. Then, it turned into street fights. In 2020 it was more fresh than broadcast news for BLM protests. Nowadays, it's back to street fights and car crashes, but when there is an international flare up, it's like a livestream. For me, it almost functions as a tripwire for huge international news. I imagine Twitch and other actual livestreams are insane right about now. (I dunno, I am not into it, or TikTok.)
