Not here, but the algos feed off negativity and people gobble that shit up for whatever reason they like drama.

“Algorithms prioritize engagement (watch time, comments, shares, rewatches) over positive or negative sentiment. Outrage, conflict, and drama reliably produce stronger reactions—people pause to argue, rewatch to fact-check, and share to dunk on someone—which the systems interpret as “this content is important.” Negative engagement is often more potent than praise. “
