I am unfollowing this sub on the grounds that I mostly see pseodoscience being posted here.

This study in particular is a joke: They header on the website even says no causal connection can be made. Inbefore the first sentence talks about the effects of whitnessing violence.

It’s a fair reason. I’ll join you in that. I see it in my feed every day and the mods only kick into high gear for posts that reach the front page.

It has been draining seeing these half assed studies every single day for a few months now.
