Social Media Negativity

Social Media Negativity

  • On average, we will look at something negative and outrageous a lot more than something peaceful and calm
  • Every word of moral outrage increases the chances of retweets on Twitter and words that increased retweet rates are attack, bad, blame
  • Social media sites are designed to train your minds to crave frequent rewards
  • Social media sites get to know what makes you tick. They learn what you like to look at, what excites you, what angers you
  • Social media sites make you feel that you are surrounded by other people’s anger
  • Fake news travels six times faster on Twitter than real news.
