A classic example of media hype actually being the thing highlighting something, is when the media produce articles on fashion runway models and how thin they are. More girls would be aware of that situation BECAUSE of those media reports. The more the media keep banging on about anorexia, self-harm, etc, the more people are likely to carry out those things. That concept is not lost on writers and producers, who are the REAL problem.

You don’t appear to understand what I wrote - "if other people who looked at the (quite innocent) thing you are looking at then went on to look at stuff not so innocent, the social media will then suggest those other (not so innocent) things in your feed.".
This is especially true if those people are in your social media circle (if they are "friends" or "friends of friends").
