People don't like to read "everything is doing great" articles, they prefer to read "the world is going to end, here's how you can save yourself".

Even though things go better than before, we discuss history with my life a lot, there are things going worse than before. The spectrum is widening and better is better than before and worse is worse than before.

"People love hearing negative things" is something in our nature, that's correct. However, putting them aside and chalking this as "business as usual" is not the correct thing to do.
