Should entertainment platforms add stronger friction before users share outrage-driven content?

I spent three years writing headlines for a living, and I can tell you outrage is not an accident, it is inventory. The accounts that farm it post forty times a day because every furious share pays the same as a thoughtful one. The Facebook Files reporting showed the company's own researchers found its systems rewarded divisive content, which means the platforms built the slot machine and now act surprised that people pull the lever. A share-pause will not fix the business model, but it raises the cost of the cheapest trick in the book: post first, verify never. Friction targets the supply chain, not the speaker.
