We're not the first to say it, and we won't be the last: Online content is diverse, but many types of topics will be displayed for you to…get angry!

Why? A bit of psychology first. It all most likely starts with the Placebo Effect and the Nocebo Effect. We often hear about Placebo: a positive but fake thing that influences your mood for the better. But, Nocebo is more...powerful! It has been clinically proven that a group of people who are given a placebo pill and are told that the pill will do them good will have positive reactions in the body in large numbers. On the other hand, if these people were given a pill and told that the pill would make them sick, they felt sick in the body in even greater numbers—predominantly—even though the pill was usually only one that contained sugar and harmless elements. This is Nocebo.

Without needing to cite any reliable source but just a Google search - this time - it can be learned that Facebook itself used negative mechanisms to get the user to have a (negative) reaction to a post and interact with her (being motivated more by negativ – nocebo). Ba chiar raportul de știri negative este de 2 la 1. Mai multe reactions, mai mult interaction, mai mult reach, mai profitabil ulterior pentru companiile mari. Simplu.

So, the decent advice in this case is always one: Be careful what you read and get informed from several sources before you have an emotional reaction!
