Not surprising when media hyperfocuses on doom, crime, death and conflict. Society clearly sounds like a terrible place when viewed through that extreme lens, so people’s everyday worries would be mild in comparison to what everybody else seems to be going through.
- raducu 3y ago> Not surprising when media hyperfocuses on doom, crime, death and conflict. I used to think the contrary but nowdays I think you're right. A few years ago I unfollowed almost everybody on facebook and my usage time dropped significantly. That is until facebook started spamming me with doom news articles, on the same exact kind of topics that I'm drawn in. The bottom line is click based "news" has to draw people in on very low quality content on the lines of the 7 cardinal sins + reality escapism.
