I see the point you're trying to make. A call to be better and do better and demand better is not...
... "governing others conduct". It's a light-hearted and winking (but very sincere) attempt to get people to think about their responses to the slop they are being served and to recognize it for what it is.
And with that realization, and if they (we) stop consuming it... then hopefully those who get away with and who PROFIT by producing and serving-up that type of swill may realize that they need to up-their-game and do better.
As it stands right now, what they're doing is clearly a race-to-the-bottom as they seek out the lowest common denominator to make a quick buck. These outrage-videos are largely analysis-free... they are mostly hype. Very predictable and formulaic.
Thanks for your final sentence... that sums it up nicely. It says a lot about your character and intelligence (and taste) to know that you have been instinctively avoiding this type of low-nutrition high-calorie garbage.
In the long run, this type of stuff (that we avoid) doesn't feed the brain, nor does it give others a deeper understanding of the issues, or how things came to be. They omit key elements that would help others to better comprehend how to solve problems. Mere "outrage" is not enough to most viewers to respond in in effective ways or to work together for rational, realistic and achievable solutions. It only adds fuel to wind-driven random and directionless wildfire of (self) destruction rather than becoming a useful tool that could (theoretically) become focused into something that would make the world a better place.
