Online I think people are total hatred junkies. Just have a look on the forums part of IMDB (a movie and TV show database) and something like 80% of the comments and threads on all movies and TV shows are either picking it apart (this or that isn't realistic / is stupid), expressing dislike for the actors that are in it, or just straight up bashing the whole thing. Not just crappy things either - you get the same on all the most popular / highest rated films and shows. I had to stop going on it because it was actually starting to ruin my viewing experience of a lot of things, with people picking out every tiny flaw .

It seems like a lot of people find some joy in the negatives, both online and in the press. I mean... There's a reason that these people who are fuelling the "hatred industry" are famous, I guess.

I disagree Ammi I think social media has taken negativity to a whole new level. Its one thing gossiping about a work colleague or neighbour who you actually know, its a different think entirely to "follow" people on twitter or FB who you don't know at all with the sole purpose of posting hate filled messages/death threats etc towards them, not sure Mrs Robinson ever had to put up with people wishing her dead because her front garden was untidy ( that is not a euphemism btw :

...for me, it's the same 'negativity breeds' though/the principle of how negativity attracts etc...I understand it's a 'whole new level' Cherie because of the internet and the examples you say ..but I think that's only because some use the internet to 'hide'/keyboard warriors etc so the level of their 'hate' or negativity has become more 'daring'...

..obviously when you 'put out' and project 'hate' as is done through the media and some TV programmes, like the 'benefit fraud' ones and people like White Dee..?...I hadn't heard of Josie Cunningham btw...there is no 'control' of that hate and the looneys that it can reach or their actions../that's also the internet age etc...

I still can't equate it to "gossiping" as gossiping is done behind peoples backs and in the main they are unaware of it so can't be hurt by it unlike the very "in your face" vitriol that social media attracts, I do agree with your point about key board warriors though.
