A - first content creator creates an outrage video
B - second content creator creates a reaction video to the A video
C - social media post references the B video
So we have three bits of content created from the same fantasy made up story. It's a self-perpetuating outrage cycle. It's the social media drama economy if you like
The cycle can continue, there can be a reaction to the reaction video, it's endless content. Like reality TV.

Watching one creator react to an outrage creator is just circular clickbait drama

I watched it once and have no desire to see more. Where is the circle?

This is not a circle for people that don't watch.
