Two comments:
1. I've noticed that Twitter shows me more "opposite side" stuff than I'd expect. Is that part of amplifying anger? Could it be good in the long run to see other viewpoints. (I'd rather see examples of people I normally vilify saying stuff that's neutral or agreeable, but anyway)
2. Twitter's business model is monetized outrage anyway. Amplifying anger has pretty much always been it's product market fit, so notwithstanding the above, it wouldn't be surprising to see this continue or escalate.
- sidibe 3y agore: 1. Me too but I think it's just because it shows more blue checks, which happen to be people whose views align with Elon's, and I mostly disagree with them and the issues they are focused on. I bet they are also seeing more blue checks
- raxxorraxor 3y agoThis is also the business model of journalism in general because it generates clicks. But if we indeed get more perspectives, I believe it to be an improvement of the former "Bubble Wrap Twitter".
