MODERATORS
Most people don't want the correct answer, they just want their preconceived biases to be confirmed.
Reddit is a big circlejerk of that
yep. The bigger the sub, the worse it was.
You would get some niche subs were there was some decent discussion but once one passed about 100K subscribers there would be a noticeable downward spiral.
It's why a downvote system doesnt work with the masses
Uh no, if I'm looking up how to troubleshoot an issue with my computer's motherboard, I don't want to be told to slather it in banana pudding just because I like bananas. There ARE things where you can't "bias" your way out of it, things that are objectively correct and incorrect.
They're talking about people who believe misinformation or that their opinions and values are (or should be) universal. There is very little critical thinking or empathy from the masses on social media.
There are still people who believe the world is flat.
The things you believe are objectively correct and incorrect are not the same for everyone.
That is the problem,
Reality is not the same for everyone and many people believe they have the right to enforce their version of reality on others.
I've always strongly believed that so I'm happy that someone else mentioned it
