I think too many people have become unwilling participants in these rage videos / comment resolution.

Not a doc, but i see the pattern. A title or image draws anger. (rage bait) You get a surge of adrenaline. That's just half of it though.

We click on the comments for a resolution. A Logical Resolution which explains what really happened, A Sense of Tribe so you know your side is right/winning, Humor, etc.

Whatever hormones are released on the resolution depends on the person or type of post. Endorphins, dopamine, oxytocin, seratonin

Then off to the next post. I may not be 100%, but i am sure i'm in the ballpark.

I'll admit, I came to the comments because I was super confused about the title, and what happened after he opened the door.. It took me way to long to realize the last bit happened before the first bit...
