  1. Is any other social media WORTH using considering how vapid the content is?

  2. Actually it's the opposite. Academics teach critical thinking and the importance of peer review. Citing appropriate sources is important as lay people are often idiots who should never be cited. Would you rather live in the Dark Ages where everyone decided to "burn the witch" because they blindly believed that witches were real based on rumours?

  3. That's why you behave like a sociopath and decieve and exploit your tribe or group until you have no further use for them.

  4. The entire media today is designed for confirmation bias. You've got radio stations that almost exclusively air conservative talk shows and little else. Cable opinion news stations like Fox News and MSNBC that only air rightwing or leftist views. And on top of that we indeed have the social media algorithm as you say, which puts people into crazy echo chambers.
