I upvoted you to counter downvotes. I think the downvotes are for the offensive part of "get off the internet." How dare you suggest such a heresy? I agree that complex system discussions must be driven by people educated in the ways of complex systems, possibly from perspective of economists, justice system, etc. Of course digging through the hieroglyphics around the issues becomes difficult for laymen, even those educated in the relevant topics. And it does become more work than fun. But many online discussions are at the level of work already. People start them for "fun" then get frustrated for being wrong, downvoted, misunderstood etc. There is an addicting effect and it turns from "fun" to work of salvaging reputation, revenge, etc. Also content farms release misleading, throwaway information that gets attention. For them it is work and often very not fun. Their efforts could be channeled to better ends by new software.
