People feel like shit, and so they seek out shit to reaffirm their shit feeling. Then other people see such content and signal boost it, instead of just moving on, as if sending it to a bunch of other people will make any difference.
And then if you point it out, they'll accuse you of trying to "ignore the problem" or "bury your head in the sand" as if constantly traumatizing oneself by reading about gore is going to solve the world's problems.
