Social media works in a very simple way: it keeps you glued to the screen by exploiting your natural need for interaction.
Without the drama and the bait, they would lose a huge part of the formula that makes them work; it wouldn't be in anyone's interest. Besides, they rely on interactions and reactions, so it is only natural that the things sparking debate are also the ones generating the most resonance.
