A sufficient number of people being angry about something is how you end up with social norms. These norms will shape how the technology is used.
Conversely, if your take is that there's no point being angry and we should just take it in stride, that just emboldens the producers of slop.
You're reading too much into my words if you think I'm suggesting we should take it in stride.
I think we should accept that trying to enforce social norms is a waste of time as that will only work on the politest part of the internet. Instead, focus on what you can control: better mechanisms for managing your attention and time.
