Both are correct.

Youtube is drawing people to do more stupid things, in the interest of attention.

Social media publizes the stupidity, and we notice this more often now (I would guess I see it twice a week now on average...some guy or gal dead).

I noticed a couple of days ago....some rural region in India....went into a murder episode because of fake news getting out by WhatsApp message. Several folks dead because of public messages made, and the authorities weren’t quick enough to prevent them.

Wow. But on the other hand, fights (sometimes fatal) start here because someone goes on Facebook and posts, "ShaKeisha looked at my boyfriend!"

Front page of the WSJ yesterday showed a Chinese business executive who fell off a cliff in France, having climbed over the safety fence (hold muh beer and watch this) to get a photo.
