people get rejected in ultra harsh ways, sometimes being filmed and then posted on social media for trying to ask someone out.

Are you sure this isn't exaggerating it a little? This may be anecdotal but I have never dealt with any such harsh rejection within my social circles (neither have my associates). What I'm trying to get at is that there may be a vocal minority that gets a lot of online attention.

Then again if thousands upon thousands of people see such a post (like on say r/Tinder) and take it as a common phenomenon it would still have the same effect.

Really the fear of it happening is enough. All you have to do is have it happen once, or know someone that it happened to, or see a video of it for that to scare you off of even trying.

That sounds like an irrational fear if you ask me. Like with fear of flying.
