Nah, I dont by that. Thats the same kind of logic that rapists use. "She was wearing a short skirt, and I just couldnt help myself". The fact is, social media in its current form is basically using gambling mechanics to get everyone to do weird shit. Comments on reddit, or facebook, or twitter are basically one armed bandits. Each tuck/comment is hoping for a win to get a little dopamine hit. Thats the long and the short of it. This has been going on for so long now, that people are radicalised by it.
