TIL about the Perverse Incentive (aka Cobra Effect), which describes the effect when "incentives are often designed to achieve short-term goals, but in the long run, they lead to bigger problems or undermine the original objectives":

Kids and gun violence
The episode talked about how this mass murderer "true crime" brain-rot subculture flattens everything into just "content." They didn't talk about how algorithms play a role in this type of violence.
"The algorithm" incentivzes maximumally impactful content. When stripped of a moral framework, by capitalism and white supremacy, humans will search for a value system to inform them of what to do. A mass shooting is simply the lowest effort for the highest impact in terms of pure content generation.
This is simply the behavior incentivzed by the algorithm. The behavior incentivzed by capitalism is, of course, no less horrific but is presented as far more acceptable. It includes, of course, creating a machine that makes money off of content (without any differentiation in type) by maximizing engagement and incentivzing content generation.
