I really loved this article! And the memorable combination of terms you used, morbid curiosity and morbid compassion. It helps to understand the benign survival reasons your mentioned for why we’re fascinated by people’s pain or loss (including social loss). That way, we can prevent our curiosity from accidentally leading us to support cyberbullying or otherwise add to the harm. I relate to you writing style a lot and hugely appreciate your expression of compassion here. Thank you David!
