The Outrage Machine_ Why We Are Always Angry

from Conspiracy Theories Exploring The Unseen · host Michael Fortune

Have you ever logged onto your favorite social media app, only to find yourself instantly swept up in a storm of fury over a post you barely understand? It feels like the temperature of our discourse is permanently set to boil, but this isn't an accident. We are living through a phenomenon called permanent outrage, a digital landscape where algorithms treat our anger like a precious resource. When you feel a spike of moral indignation, platforms see an opportunity to keep you scrolling, clicking, and interacting, which ultimately turns your emotional response into pure advertising revenue. The problem is that these algorithms don't just show us what we like; they curate echo chambers that reinforce our existing biases, making anyone who disagrees with us feel like an alien enemy rather than a fellow human being. This is the paradox of viral outrage.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.
