Another musing upon this idea but maybe sudden bursts of strong emotions causes these rampages. So even a really funny joke could cause someone to suddenly become murderous and rip others apart. Luckily symbiotes allow people to heal and regenerate and maybe the general populace starts to get more violent and over time they get more on edge where any violence could cause a huge superpowered riot. The parts of the hivemind where this doesn't happen limits this but eventually it could create a domino effect that it can't suppress.
Sports now become gladiator matches that only more addicted symbiotes and hosts go out to see.
Also the chocolate business? Yeah it's boomin' and becomes essential.
