At what point did the internet become a giant echo chamber?

Makes the saying "lost in translation" more understandable.

put another way "conversational speech" would not have made sense to people back in the day.

Its been like this since the USENET days, bruh.

 

[Hoodoo Child]

It's been like that since the beginning. Only a few people had access to it

 

[Ski Mask]

but it sounds like you're describing is a need for for specific type of information that you're seeking out.
What do people do when unsolicited opinions are being shared in echo chambers?

Either people respond by replying, blocking or removing those opinions, which are all acceptable. You are not owed interaction.

Its been like this since the USENET days, bruh.

What year was this?

It's not an echo chamber, you only see your room because the algorithms work well

Heavy censorship after Trump got elected.

The golden age of the internet was mid-2000s to mid-2010s.

At least things seem to be on a semi even keel here.

Minus the suspect posting (fake cars, outright racism, tranny talk, and finally “bussy”) I learned you will get called out on your shyt if it is warranted

I got permanently banned for suggesting a bullet to the head for pedophiles on Reddit. That place has the ultimate hive mind mentality.

Self policing is good, that’s why I’m still here.

algorithms are too extreme.

Websites used to be defined by your hobbies

Twitter and IG is just vibes for narcissists

 

[Xyrax]

Social Media mixed with Algorithms.

 

[Joe Budden]

The internet changed when stupid people learned how to access it. It wasn’t like this back in the day. You could debate like adults and not take shyt personal. I’m talking early 2000’s.
