Along with: 1) I already agreed with this post's ideas to detect echo Chambers, and maybe trigger more content with opposing viewpoints. 2) I disagree with this post to have a strong active signal if that besides just passively not hitting the "like" button. Or maybe these are awful ideas. But as much as intrusive data collection is part of the problem, as long as people are being fed content based on simplistic algorithms that optimize for anger and fear, we won't get anywhere. In systems will many millions of pieces of content, random selection won't work. Showing similar content to that already viewed has been less than productive. There has to be some way to have social media and content outlets optimize for something other than $minutes_of_attention.
