More than that...I think personalized media recommendations are a significant contributing factor here. I think the prevalence of this approach to curation is a big part of why we see so many echo chambers. The tech industry needs to take a good hard look at itself and the kind of patterns its business incentivizes. Of course, ultimately one could make the argument that it's just human nature. It's not the tech companies, they're just trying to make a profit. That's when it might make sense for governments to step in with regulations--to push things n a positive direction where the free market can't. It seems to me that we're still figuring out as a species how to handle this information deluge we've started to experience in the last 20-30 years. Like any powerful tool, it can be used for good as well as for harm.
