I'm angry, I feel good - about the benefits of consuming content that provokes anger

On the face of it, it seems that the possibility that we intentionally seek content that harms us, is contrary to the research-based hedonistic principle, according to which man strives to avoid pain and maximize pleasure, and therefore would prefer to avoid consuming content that evokes negative feelings such as anger. New research proves the opposite
