The “feeding frenzy video”—a genre depicting intense, competitive, and often chaotic consumption—has proliferated across social media platforms. While rooted in nature documentary tropes (e.g., sharks attacking a school of fish), the genre has evolved into a distinct digital artifact. This paper argues that the feeding frenzy video operates on two levels: (1) a spectacle of resource competition reflecting neoliberal anxieties, and (2) an algorithmic mimicry , where user engagement patterns (likes, shares, comments) replicate the very frenzy depicted on screen.

The feeding frenzy video genre distills a core digital contradiction: we condemn competitive consumption while being hypnotized by its mechanics. As AI-generated frenzy videos emerge (synthetic sharks, simulated riots), the genre may soon detach entirely from reality—becoming a pure algorithm-bait format. The question remains: when everything is a feeding frenzy, does anyone still feel hungry? feeding frenzy video

Platform algorithms favor high-density action —rapid cuts, loud audio spikes, and sudden movements. Feeding frenzy videos naturally contain these elements. More critically, the comment section often becomes a secondary frenzy: users race to post the funniest reaction, creating a “comment feeding frenzy” that further boosts engagement metrics. The video is no longer just content; it is a recursive loop of competitive consumption. The feeding frenzy video genre distills a core
