The problem was more that people are more likely to submit stories that continue to get you angry about the latest thing. It won't be a deep investigative piece about the corporate interests that led to some strange move and hid some shady dealings; it will be a third or fourth article about the latest thing we all already know Trump did, but it adds like one detail and focuses on it. It's easy to fall back on by default and think you need nothing else because it's free and major events will get shared instantly.

but I hear that's the culture of Americans being told what to believe and do based on their feeds.

Hate to break it to you, but this is becoming the norm globally as more and more people got addicted to smartphones and social media.
