Staying with echo chambers: 1. If their existence depends on the definition used, then the societal effect can’t be that large 2. How does “soc media maximizes engagement” support the echo chambers claim??? This very thread shows engagement goes up when exposed to different views

I take issue with people in the media who never took a look at any research finding condescendingly lamenting over people stuck in echo chambers. The dumb people, they mean.
