While attention-seeking and "influencers" are problematic, I agree, when I look at how toxic political discussions have become, particularly in America, I don't see attention-seeking as the problem here. Instead, it's a clash of ideologies, compounded by people's ideologies becoming warped by exposure to others (people becoming "radicalized").

Throughout history political ideology has had strong opinions from opposing sides, but typical only a subset of people were given an opportunity to voice them. Now, anyone can and a lot of it does seem to be pure snark.
