    Affects the people inside all the companies that deal with it and has a longterm effect of those companies adopting patterns of behaviour to avoid it (moving rightwards). It's the same thing that mass outrage has always done except the modern internet has made it something that can be performed by groups of people on a daily basis. Previously it was limited to news and breakfast tv.

      I imagine most shows pray for some kind of outrage because it spurs engagement. Anything that extends the public's attention span is probably going to make money line go up, not to mention feeding user metrics that if they include politically contentious content people will hate watch just to see what everyone's talking about. People ranting about Morbius is the only reason I watched it.

        This is only accurate in content that is already globally everywhere. Content that is not already widely distributed relies upon the reception it has in reviews as it gets sold to other networks and platforms. Either way members of any team are affected negatively by it all and people are negative emotion avoidance machines (excluding social media addiction), the result of negative experiences on one job is carried over into avoiding those negative experiences in the next. All workers experience some kind of personal connection to their work and most of them are personally affected by negativity surrounding the projects they work on.
