I think the factor Social media misses is the get popped in the mouth factor. People have always spewed trash, though they dealt with the responses of others "popping them in the mouth". Social media / the internet as a whole, allows you to say and do things without any real fear of repercussion in the real world. That definitely doesn't help. Compound that by the ease of which we all can fall into an echo chamber, only hearing the ideals we seek out, and it's risky for sure. The dopamine fix of winning in arguments or commentary through the various gamification definitely feed an unhealthy addiction.
