- Sorry but what is that supposed to tell us?
  
  I assume most people here were using reddit for quite a while.
OK? You can just call attention to the migrant boat tragedy without making everyone feel bad for finding this story weirdly compelling.

Statements like these always somehow act like an entire group of people all took a vote and decided to focus on one thing over another. I don't have control over what other people think is interesting, so what is he trying to tell me, personally?
- I believe the point here is that a lot of media attention was directed to the titanic story with a lot of discussion how to rescue the victims. All while in the last couple of years there have been multiple cases of ships with refugees drowning in the Mediterranean Sea with next to no media coverage.
  
  Millionaires doing wacky shit just seems to be way more interesting then refugees drowning.
