Ah, ok, I think I have a better sense of what you means. I do think it is possible that social media is leading to this sort of social contagion. The psychological processes involved are probably unconscious rather than deliberately manipulative.

Most aren't deliberate, but some definitely are, and social media is not the only culprit. But that's just my opinion.
