Liberals want to blame rightwing 'misinformation' for our problems. Get real. In liberal circles these days there is a palpable horror of the uncurated world, of thought spaces flourishing, of unauthorized voices blabbing freely in some arena where there is no moderator to turn someone in.

There's almost 8 Billion people on the planet, and most of them aren't on social media.

You're arguing with a shill, who is the click-bait retard equivalent of the "liberals" he's complaining about.

According to this account, anyone who is winning an argument with it is a "shill".

You can't make this stuff up.

Ah, I don't make it a habit of reading post histories. I don't even pay attention to usernames most of the time.

Who cares about reaching them? 330 million Americans are the important ones.

Even then. Around 2/3s of the US has social media, and the majority are inactive accounts that never use it. When i still used Facebook most of my "friends" were inactive. Most of Twitter, except politicians and pro-wrestlers are inactive. Social Media has out lived it's usefulness.

This is the weirdest take ever. Most people get their news and views of the world from social media. Saying Facebook/Twitter/etc don't matter is bizarre.

I'm sure they matter to the people that use it. But, like I used to tell Redditors, they aren't nearly as relevant as they think. Most people don't use Twitter and they don't Book Face. They get their news from news channels or websites. Probably why the rest of the planet is more informed than Americans.
