This is basically the root of so called cancel culture. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. The problem is that once a minority opinion gets an outsized amount of attention others will join it to get some of that attention. We have developed a culture of any press is good press where certain people are highly motivated by getting attention from others. These people will seek any outlet for attention and join in with many contrarian viewpoints simply because the attention ratio works in their favor. This isn't entirely new and Ben Franklin had a solution for it that allowed much of the American revolution to take place. Secret societies. Many many very small interconnected secret societies, much like an MLM scheme but where you only know your immediate downline and your single sponsor. Everyone was member of at least two secret societies, each with 6 members. The first they were invited to join and the second they created themselves. They just enabled the exchange of pamphlets, but in this fashion ideas gained wide dispersal and support before ever truly becoming public.
