First, I understand subj as a sound bouncing of the walls multiple times, so you can’t track its origin or reason anymore, but it persists.
In a technological context, echo chambers made me a great disservice making me believe in certain “textbook truths” that are not. These truths just bounce around mindlessly. Some of them are (were) our well-known best practices and approaches. Maybe they are true in some context, but everyone reinforces them without providing it, and many of us work in very different situations. Pretty sure that this happens in all areas, and in those that you have no expertise in they create a complete trash views in your head which harm your own reality.
That said, people sometimes assume that there are echo chambers and also main/good views. I don’t believe so. As we tend (^tend, not always do) to turn every piece of knowledge into religious crap, it is everywhere. So ECs are bad, but it’s not that I consider them bad in favor of something else, because there is none.
For example, I fully, completely agree with the top comment (by norhi999), but we’ll probably start a flamewar here if I elaborate on what my “textbook truths” are.
