I absolutely agree and would only like to add that humans also have a Confirmation bias that is of course reinforced by engagement algorithms as well. So not only do we tend to only see the negative but also predominantly the negative that reinforces out worldview. Best example is the fact that many people are convinced crime rates are going up all the time while they are actually going down world-wide for decades already.

That is an interesting factor I hadn't even considered. Thanks for pointing it out.
