There's another layer to this as well, I think. Any social media feed interlaces horrible things with wonderful things in a completely contextually devoid list. A funny cat picture and a traumatic picture or video of violence are both "rated" in the same way, with the same imaginary internet points, without any differentiation between good and bad.
I feel like this is also cooking our brains a bit.

Playing around with progressive JPEGs and their behavior in a web page. You can use ImageMagick to determine if a JPEG is interlaced. Most photo editing apps will export images as interlaced now, but you can see the behavior below.
Non-interlaced: Chunky render
Interlaced: Loads in from low quality to high quality.
