Outrage farming refers to the practice of deliberately provoking anger or strong emotional reactions in order to gain attention, engagement, or influence, particularly on social media. This tactic can be observed in various contexts, such as politics, marketing, or online content creation, where individuals or organizations amplify controversial issues or sensationalize situations to galvanize their audience.
