Counterpoints:
- People will write long, impassioned screeds in response to the things they despise most.
- People don't just view posts that are about things they hate/fear, they "like" and share them because they feel the need to approve of and disseminate every "exposé" of the "bad guys". Even though most of it is vacuous FUD or twisted misinformation that accomplishes no such "noble" goal.
- sudosysgen 6y agoI don't think it's a bad thing that things that people don't agree with are presented to them. As for the rest, I never argued for valuing sharing, and while those might generate likes they won't generate long comments unless they are at least slightly constructive.
