it’s a curiosity thing. i think there’s a value to seeing it, although not regularly seeing it.
humans are capable of some horrifying brutality. we live in nice little perfect bubbles and we don’t even realize it.
for example, it’s very easy to catch yourself cheering for war in the name of idealism. but see a couple dozen war videos and you realize what it really means. i think your statement honestly holds true for any type of morbid type of content. for example Crime and Punishment- dissecting the psychology of a double homicide. you could say “why would you read 500 pages of dense literature about someone murdering two innocent people?”
it’s because that’s part of the human experience, for better or worse.
similar to interrogation videos on YouTube. Even poetry like Suicide in the Trenches
