First time I heard the term "Outrage addict" that seems to fit pretty well.

If you didn't know already, it's really worth knowing that anger is addictive and acts on dopamine pathways.

That's the same mechanism which cocaine works through.

Anything more than very occasional anger is dangerously unhealthy, if you value not being an arsehole for the rest of your life

(I might be slightly dramatising, but really everyone chill the fuck out, there's much better ways to get your dopamine)

Thanks, I wasn't aware that anger triggered a dopamine response, but makes sense. I am pretty laid back, so it's hard for me to understand people that are angry all the time

I truly think that's what has been happening. People seek out stuff to be angry about for the rush, and the algorithm translates that into serving up the most extreme takes on literally every issue.
