If you're looking to start a competitor, you need to differentiate somehow. Not using "rage and anger" to drive engagement would be pretty appealing to a user.
It's also worth noting that the context of this thread was two users who deleted the app because it showed them stuff they did not want to see. And the wider context has been TikTok has been utterly clueless handling concerns from the public and regulators, so I don't think reasoning from the assumption that whatever TikTok does is necessary is the right way to go.
And if you are right, it's just more proof that modern capitalism doesn't incentivize making things people want, rather it incentivizes making the things that exploit them most effectively. The appropriate political adjustments should be made to beat those companies until their users' morale improves.

I think the source of your confusing is that you wandered into a conversion between users while thinking you were a platform.
