Re: do we get a pleasure from watching someone dying

@TLK

…But then why do the videos of someone dying (mostly unnatural death) go viral on YouTube?..

But don’t forget that around the world, public executions are highly attended events, often happen in stadiums. That means that people plan to attend those executions…

Are people ‘pleased’ at watching such videos and events?

Dying is an unusual act and a person would not do it more than once in his/her life. Naturally, people are interested in unusual events and hence watch such videos.
