Provide a bounty for the best solution

Bounties attract serious brainpower to the challenge.

An online repository of satirically extreme examples of social media one-upmanship. 

Why?

Entertain the audience by poking fun at our innately human drive to one-up each other.
Make it a habit for people to read between the lines. We should be more aware of WHY people say stuff rather than just what they say.
Make people rethink their own motives before putting someone else down.
How it works

This is a low-hanging fruit type of idea that someone can whip up in a few hours. It would in essence be a never-ending scroll of screenshots or even links to public social media posts where noteworthy people have engaged in pissing matches with others that blatantly obviously serve no other purpose than to demonstrate their own superiority.

Context is key, so it would be beneficial if the screenshot was accompanied by the backstory. Everything could be anonymized (or not) depending on how far the creator wants to take this idea.

Even the suitable domain pissingcontest.com is not in use, so the owner might be willing to part with it.

If this turned out to be popular, in time people would make it a habit to analyze their motives twice before putting others down
