Outrage Is the New Entertainment | Data & Dissonance

Scroll through social media for five minutes and you’ll see it everywhere.

Angry reaction videos.
Explosive headlines.
Comment sections turning into digital shouting matches.

In today’s media landscape, outrage spreads faster than information.

In this episode of Data & Dissonance, Artie and the panel explore the growing culture of outrage-driven media and ask a bigger question:

Has anger become America’s favorite form of entertainment?

Tonight the panel breaks it down:

• Brian explains how outrage became a media business model
• Rachel looks at the psychological feedback loop between audiences and media
• Daniel follows the incentives behind algorithms that reward conflict
• Skylar explores when outrage comes from real social frustration

From social media algorithms to political messaging and viral culture, the crew digs into why anger spreads faster than calm discussion — and what that means for the future of public conversation.
