I'm "obsessed" with the sub because of the irony, the lack of certification, and all the stupid decisions that went into it. The cause of the sub's destruction is very interesting to discuss. Every time I learn more about the company and the CEO's decisions, I'm more baffled that anyone went anywhere with them.

The migrant boat situation is super sad and not fun to discuss. I don't come to social media to be depressed.

exactly. there's a word for it, for sure, but the idea that a sadder story existing means we can't talk about a more unique one too?

A very reputable news outlet in my country ran several stories a day about the sub. Wha**t happened?, Infos about the people, how muxh air do they have?, a story when their air supply actually ran out, ...

The weirdest were two opinion pieces about the reasons why "we" cared and wanted to read more about 5 rich people than about a sinking boat full of migrants. It felt really distasteful.
