Outrage is one of the easiest ways to drive engagement.
You'll find it on any platform that rewards engagement.
Rewarding engagement is basically a short road to a toxic, negative platform. It's not just the social networks though -news networks have learned this too and it is self selecting.

Hot tip: now that people understand that "circle with arrow pointing at it" or "reaction face in front" is good bait in thumbnails, they are diversifying... The new bait is to highlight one (usually negative or evocative) word in a red box. Consider this your inoculation.

Also, new folks, please know that when it comes to trolls, jerks, chuds and other undesirables here in the sky, we subscribe to the idea of “Don’t Engage, Just Block.” The block function is superpowered and expunges them entirely from your timeline. They hate it! Block with wild abandon! Don’t wait!
