That's a mindboggling take, to be honest, to the point I can't help but suspect that you're being contrarian just for the sake of it. I'm absolutely sure that you, yourself, have gone by some terrible scene which you couldn't help but stare at for at least a bit, which you would not classify as something you would like to see more of.

There's a huge difference between something people want to see and something people can't ignore. There is some intersection between those categories, but they are by no means one and the same. And news reports, headlines, thumbnails et al. optimize for the latter, not the former.
