"Vocal minority" is a perfect description for a real modern communication issue. Cheap, instantaneous communication allows for people to communicate about anything instantly which is good! But this also allows for people to both complain about anything and receive positive feedback, and for others to have a warped sense of priorities since they mostly see feedback from people who complain about everything all the time. See twitter mobs and "cancel culture." These people don't reflect the majority.
- Yizahi 6y agoI'm not talking about twitter mobs obviously, I'm talking about discussions about technology on tech forums or subreddits when any complaint (blaming the company who developed certain software) gets shut down without even comprehending the problem, purely as a "vocal minority = irrelevant". Oh well, I guess that idea is not yet ready for the masses. More people need to experience the frustration first hand.
