Is there a name for content that is gross, strange, attention grabbing, hypnotic, alarming and that generally is *designed* to push people's buttons above all else?

For example those videos of people using too many cleaning products, or making food wrong.

I always think of it as "Attention Exploitation" content. And there is something manipulative about it that seems destructive in some way that escapes most definitions of worthless content...

It only exists to try to keep you watching it.
