I wasn't approaching this from a political side at all. Frankly I don't have the domain knowledge to understand what you're trying to say.
The issue I'm referring to is that any advertising-supported platform has an incentive to generate "engagement" and divisive, outrageous content will generate a lot more of it, regardless of whether it's misleading or even completely false.
Politics-wise, the landscape would be much better if all constituents were given a fair, unbiased view of the media "market" not tailored to each individual to generate the maximum level of outrage just to further enrich some assholes. People can still decide which sources to read & trust but at least it's a conscious choice and they are free to look elsewhere, even if only to see what "the other side" reads.
