It's simply ragebait. It's a global phenomenon but I'd say Reddit embraced it as their primary feature, even more so than gd Facebook.
I'm not immune to it either, though my brand of ragebait is more in the /collapse and /antiwork spheres.
/antiwork lost its way on reddit... If it ever had it, but deff got a lot of normies asking the right questions 🐸
