There's a massive industry built around this on YT, exemplified by the OP's post about his parents. To a first-order approximation, every story with a theme of "X does sexist/racist/ageist/abusive thing to Y and then gets their comeuppance" on YouTube is AI-generated clickbait. The majority of the "X does nice thing for Y and gets a reward or surprise" dating from the last year or two are also AI-generated clickbait, but far more of the former. Outrage gets a lot more clicks than compassion.
