Social media thrives on farming engagement via outrage, it continually feeds you content to make you upset and spend hours arguing with bots, humans didn't evolve to handle so much information and propaganda about how horrible the world is or about those starving children in chinese sweatshops
Short form content literally melts your brain, imagine going through a video that makes you upset, to one that makes you happy, to a horny one, back to angry, all in the span of 10 seconds for hours upon hours, your brain gets overwhelmed by the constant emotional shifts and it becomes really good at switching moods on a dime, take that behavior out of watching videos and you'll see people exploding over the dumbest shit because they can't control their emotions anymore.
