Honestly, that's how humans work. There does seem to be a tendency for people to "cluster" into various tribes, and form various information and cultural "bubbles". One of the ways to mitigate this to a degree (everyone is biased in one way or another even with the best of efforts, I think) is to engage yourself in multiple "bubble zones". The old social media experience (forums etc.), which was very de-centralized, could provide this experience. Even if you just went to specialized forums of, say, your hobbies and interests, there is a decent chance that each forum will have a different cultural viewpoint compared to the other one. Forum culture also allow you to peak into other cultures you aren't even into at all, just for some perspective. From my viewpoint, one possible problematic trend I see with the Internet (at least from a social media perspective) is centralization of the experience, and the implications of algorithmic filtering (as implied by fears over a "filter bubble" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_bubble) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_bubble)). I am not sure if the "filter bubble" concern is 100% warrented now (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/08/technology/facebook-study-disputes-theory-of-political-polarization-among-users.html http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/08/technology/facebook-study-...)... but for subjects which provoke strong feelings, there seems to be a tendency for those with the loudest, strongest opinions to actually strongly want a filtered comfort zone, one free of any conflicting opinion, or even people with that opinion. My hope is that the Facebooks of the world note that not everyone desires epistemic closure. I'm not terribly optimistic about this though.
