An oddity I'm noting on Twitter/X any reason for this?

I've only been on for a month and I'm noticing just how many ultra-violent videos are on there. All kinds of violence with people obviously getting seriously hurt may with a life-altering injury. Why the heck is X showing this? Is there some salacious thirst for watching videos like this? X thinks people like watching both the innocent and guilty getting seriously injured? Any ideas on this?

I think you need to like and reply more for their "for you" algo to know you better, or it will recommend generic "engagement bait" posts like these violent ones.

Or alternatively follow more people and read "following" feed.

A thoughtful reply thanks. My idea of fun and interesting and news is not by seeing wild feral monkeys on the attack.
