On ESPN right now, the videos they are leading with on their page are:

Stephen A.: 'I am so disgusted with Aaron Judge'
Greeny: The Jets are one of the colossal failures of sports history
Stephen A.: Bears' defense was atrocious on Hail Mary
McAfee on Anthony Richardson tapping out: 'I've never seen it before'

Everyone is climbing over themselves to come in with the absolute hottest takes. No take is too hyperbolic. No take can have even a modicum of nuance. No take is too ridiculous. Its just a straight shot to the most extreme and subconsciously, it normalizes it for everyone.
