    I think this is the natural conclusion to modern social media. Constantly being confronted by a billion different worldviews and farming people for engagement by showing them things they disagree with is just going to breed extreme echo chambers.

      Yes, most definitely. It is most apparent in smaller groups and userbases, but can quickly become more widespread across larger userbases. That’s not to say that all comments need to be critical, but the extreme tribalism that social platforms have been creating is not a good contribution to society moving forward.
