Nothing positive is needed. It's an outrage engine that keeps you involved by edging on the max level of disturbance you are comfortable to consume. Seeing, posting reactions, having likes enables you to keep it going.
That's fair, I don't partake in that side of the web myself but when I get stuck in it it's usually because I read something depressing and am scrolling desperately hoping for good news.
Meta could learn a lesson or two in edging 😉
