100% agree. So many people only get their news from facebook, which only shows you what you agree with, and so many of those articles are pretty much opinion pieces telling you how to think about what they are saying, and everyone just eats it up.
There are literally algorithms that keep stressful and negative articles up at the top of your feed, because they generate more clicks which generates more ad revenue.
They profit off of our collective stress and panicky mob mentality.
Isn't that what kicked off the great depression?
Independent thought. While technology has facilitated the vast spread of information and availability to that information, we seem dumber than ever.
Also our privacy is being mined like never before. And we are giving up this information willingly to be exploited.
