Listen "Episode 46- The Outrage Machine"
Episode Synopsis
We don’t just consume outrage anymore — we fuel it.
Anger isn’t an accident online; it’s the product. In this episode of Zero Distortion, Russ Bates breaks down how outrage became a commodity — and why it’s now the most profitable emotion in the world.
We live in an economy that rewards reaction over reason.
Media, politics, and social platforms profit every time you get angry, click, share, or argue. The result? Logic gets buried, empathy is mocked, and we mistake noise for truth.
🎧 In this episode:
How outrage became big business
Why algorithms reward anger and friction
How the media profits from emotional division
The difference between reacting and responding
How to stop feeding the machine and reclaim your attention
If you’ve ever caught yourself doom-scrolling or rage-sharing — this one’s for you.
