  • While some may say that it is just an impression, it certainly is true. The cuprit is non other than the algorithm. People tend to write comments about why they disagree, and like where they agree. Liking takes less time, so you’re not as engaged as when you’re commenting. Being engaged gives them more money, so the algorithm does as it’s been told and just engages everyone so they are on the site longer to make more money. This enrages people, because everyone else is dumb and wrong and they have to tell them their opinion, which makes the algorithm happy, which leads to more disagreements. It’s a money making spiral.
