Notice how massive online meltdowns over video games get

FTFY. This is a visibility bias.

There are protests going in Angola. 5 people are killed, thousands arrested. I think that counts as a meltdown. But you didn’t know that. And I didn’t know that until I looked for something to show as an example.

As for gamers and their online meltdowns - the demographic are already online. And global.

Do you think people from UK or Canada will phone a bank in Idaho? The visibility bias applies there as well.
