there are wellbeing studies, is the proliferation of news / social media visible on these graphs? (do people settle into a new worse baseline too fast for these studies to pick this up? does this insanity show up on psychiatric stats? IIRC the data for young girls shows that their mental health got worse the more time they spent on social media, is there something similar for other cohorts?)
probably it's time to look for natural experiments that could show how big of a radicalizing effect certain channels/videos/outlets have.
