While some people may try to stay off 'toxic' social media, it's inevitable that you'll come across a toxic Reddit, Twitter(X), or even Facebook post. Today we're going to quickly go over the correlation between internet toxicity and internet culture. First, lets get this out of the way: This post should not be taken as factual, used as evidence, or cited; it is a matter of pure opinion and observation.

First off, the main cause of internet toxicity is bias towards a specific group, culture, or opinion as the Human brain experiences pleasure at the loss or failure of someone considered an opponent; due to this fact users may insult or argue just for a feeling of control, power, or victory over another person, or to seek the approval of others.

Now you may be asking how this links to Internet culture? Well that's a bit more simple; due to the 'circles' with certain opinions formed on the internet, with their own unique culture, ideals, and the potential for disputes from these differences, there is a higher chance that an argument will sprout up, and that the person will seek approval from their 'circle', which in many cases is given.

All off these factors mix together, along with potential monetary gain from Social Media, create a great ammount of controversy and crashes on the internet.
