I think this goes doubly so online, where the loudest voices dominate.
- mmsimanga 8y agoThis is why I have reservations about following online trends. It is only part of the picture of what is really going on. There is a silent (silent online) number of people who are just getting on with it quietly as you put it.
- ImaCake 8y agoThis captures a good part of the underlying problem with social media. It is often the disenfrancised and outspoken who dominate the discussion. Many of them don't work and support other activities such as families or hobbies, so they are able to spend that time complaining on the internet.
