I'm not sure if it's really what you're asking, but something I thought was interesting from a social-media perspective is that by prioritizing "engagement", platforms may have accidentally ended up evolving to prioritize outrage. They didn't specifically intend to anger their users, but because of the factors explained in the article, anger ends up triggering many of the behaviors that make a user seem engaged. Similar to the debt-collection call center, platforms have effectively learned that the outrage/relief cycle has strong effects, and inflict that on their users through the types of content they show them.
