Social media platforms like Twitter, through their reward structures, incentivize malignant narcissism, free riding, and psychopathic motivation by capitalizing on outrageous behavior while externalizing costs to society, representing the psychological equivalent of the tragedy of the commons.

Social media and the corruption of Public discourseAdded:
I believe that Twitter's reward structure, even more than Facebook's, incentivizes malignant narcissism. It enables and benefits free riding and prioritizes psychopathic motivation.
And it garners disproportionate attention in doing so, capitalizing on the attractiveness of outrageous behavior, while externalizing all the associated and inevitable costs to the innocent broader society. This is the psychological equivalent of the tragedy of the commons.
The psychological equivalent to pollution of the air we all breathe.
