Wasn't this literally the shady research that Facebook got caught doing with Cambridge Analytica? Specifically tweaking a user's feed to be more negative resulted in that user posting more negative things themselves and more engagement overall.

Facebook figured out how to monetize trolling.

Over 10 years later, it's destroyed society, but made them a lot of money.
