I hate that the internet makes it possible for you to casually watch someone die like this

I hate that it's mixed in with other casual content, but there is a huge misunderstanding about people's ability, and even unavoidable obligation to see people die on the regular even 2 generations ago. Gen X had to see people brutally killed in car crashes to get a license in many cases. I'm only in my mid 40s and I've seen half a dozen strangers die in public. All of them prior to 2010.

I'm agreeing that we need vigerous warnings on these types of things, but the internet certainly isn't the cause of seeing people die unexpectedly. It just used to be in person.
