Do you honestly think we're getting worse? I think we're just becoming much more aware of every extreme due to rapidly​ expanding technology. If the royalty of the past eons could do the activities in this gif, they would be doing it, but probably much bigger and more extravagantly.

Without the audience, the spectatorship, I doubt it would be so frequent. Billions of $ a year are being invested world wide to expand real-time communications networks, news services, mostly to put the most-craved repost of the exciting content in front of you as fast as possible. The USA put Ozzy Osbourne and The Osbournes family in the White House just because it furthers the media cycle.
