True. A whole generation of users has been accustomed to finding their folk on social media. Whatever SM comes about, they are going to do the same. Also, the one and only business model, of any SM, is keeping people on the app, and you don't do that by providing counter points / arguments against their world view. You do that by matching them with people who think like them. Any social media will devolve into cesspools of group think that often ends up being bad for society. Just look at Whatsapp. It has no ads feed, no subscription fees and yet, it has innumerable groups that do spreading of all sorts of conspiracy rumor mongering. WA is not even getting like minded people together. They are doing it themselves. The next wave of SM will be similar. But, even more crass and materialistic. It will not bring people together. It will bring groups together that will fight ever more aggressively with other groups, drawing strength from numbers. And human nature, with its fickle tendencies, will enable the dumbest and gullible to form the largest groups.
