In your opinion has rubbernecking in traffic situations gotten worse over the years?

Let me give a few examples that I have witnessed.
A while back heading east out of the lower mainland traffic was crawling stop and go 10kph max type thing, after a half hour of this we came across a boat cushion laying on the far left line of the passing lane, once past this evil cushion we all went back to highway speeds.
Just the other day heading west same highway we came to a crawl again, after while in this I noticed a tow truck picking up a broke down SUV in the east bound lanes, once past this we went back to highway speeds, why did our side of the highway have to slow down?
Now this one one heading west again we came to stop and go crawl along, after over half and hour in this we came across a cop giving an RV a ticket, after that we went back to highway speeds.
The law here is slow down to 70kph for emergency vehicles, and move over if you can, NOT stop and rubberneck the scene.
First responders get annoyed with these idiots stopping and gawking most times yelling at them to keep moving.
Has this become the norm in your area as well?
