Are you really arguing that social media isn’t optimized to create bubbles?
- neveroffensive 9y agoSocial media is a tool, you can use it to create an echo chamber, or to explore alternative view points and discuss. The key to the later is growing up, and being ready to empathize, even when it's hard or you disagree.
- notacoward 9y agoSocial media are optimized for maximum engagement. If people engage more in bubbles, they'll get bubbles. If people engage more by reaching out and exploring beyond their bubbles, the platforms will facilitate that instead. Don't blame the mirror.
- QAPereo 9y agoI blame the algorithm behind the mirror, and the people behind the algorithms.
