 1000% we are.
being bombarded with Bad things on X was a huge realization for me.  It "feels" like more bad things are happening but its an illusion created by social Media algorithms. 
The reason we focus on the negative is because its rare in meat space but so very common in cyberspace.

 💯 agree. Hence, I decided to come here on #nostr because there is no crazy algo yet. 🤞🤞🤞 I found a video one time on tiktok about a former marketing agent and she said: "if you keep seeing those type of content, remember who benefits those and the money it cost to push those!" Some people think that it is a conspiracy but after learning about marketing and practicing, shit is real! So yeah, I agree that what we see has more to it that meets our eyes.

 sometimes we shut off when it gets too much and it is a way of coping. however, it is useful in short term but I defo recommend looking into the deep side of it — root cause of the trigger or the emotions. ☺️🫂
