I disagree that people only want to be affirmed -- people are constantly getting into debates and arguments on the internet

  Not to change their mind though

  In my personal experience, most of them do so precisely to be affirmed, not to have their minds changed. Because what are upvotes, if not affirmation? Even better if you manage to convince the other person, but that's entirely optional.
