Exactly. Internet has been able to connect people, so each community become larger and louder. But the real issue is that the voice of majority is actually missing.
It is like if you bought a doughnut from a shop, some will say it loud it is wonderful, if you have complains you probably will make sure you say it loud and clear, the majority people happy with it will just walk away silently.
This way, the voice you hear on internet are mostly from the two extreme of spectrum, nothing in the middle. It would be nice if we have some adjust somehow.
- Dracophoenix 6y agoThat's because there's no such thing as a majority on the internet. It's the purest form of the marketplace of ideas. And like any such marketplace, fads and ideas, behemoths or not, come and go. That's why it's important not to dive in with expectations that you're getting a true or definitive reading on issue. Outside of the most brilliant scholarly papers, one rarely does. Even in the most viewpoint-neutral and factually correct conversations, pieces and snippets are all you get.
