Satire thrives lack of boring and reasonable moderation. It however is often harmful and nasty. It although depends on the reader or listener. It may be funny to someone else or many other people, but overall humor is subjective.

Satire matters for more than one reason, but its main goal is to raise people's awareness about the current state of affairs and to challenge their viewpoints by using humor and irony. It helps us confront the unpleasant reality and see the world as it is, so that we can improve it.
