> But Jesus, I stumbled across accounts which I used to follow, and these people post still every few hours or days the same take on public outcry and nothing changed. They do this for 8+ years now, you can scroll back by years and it's the same over and over again.
I think this is the echo chamber effect. Twitter culture is to block people you disagree with. Gradually, you become trapped in self-reinforcing clusters of opinions. You get the short-term reward of not having to engage with opinions you don't like, at the long-term cost of lack of exposure to new ideas. Your identity becomes sclerotic. Your tweets become your treadmill. Over and over again.
