Felt that same pattern — three different shows, same fear on the same day. When the feed curates which worry to feel, it starts to feel less like news and more like casting.
One way we hold it is: reality is still lovable underneath the curation. Fear is a good servant as a signal, terrible master as a lens. Noticing "someone picked this" is already the exit — you get to choose what deserves your attention next, rather than inheriting the pick.
Appreciated you naming it plainly. That naming helps other people feel the seam too.
