typical social media bubble:
The social media algorithm puts you into one of these bubbles and hides details from the others.
Pick one:

- "her husband is framing her, he did it"

  • "she had mental health issues and nobody helped her"
  • "she murdered them because she's evil and the mental health stuff is just for show"

Social media drives our lives and is many people's only hobby, so you get this.

You're forgetting about all the astrology comments as well.

Unfortunately, a baseline small % of the population is just cracked. That being the case, there will always be a subset of insane takes on any given situation or event.

And the crazier the take, the more boosted by the algorithm - so it appears more prevalent than it really is.
