The problem with social media is every baby mama with an ape level IQ has facebook and twitter accounts so you see the opinions of such people displayed in the same context as the intelligent section of the population. This has never happened before. In the past no one would listen to the opinions of the village idiot because everyone can see they are the village idiot. Today, as a group on the internet, they are pushing the narratives. I think this is a huge problem.

That's very true. And because such people are more likely to indiscriminately post every thought that enters their mind, they end up having the loudest voices and it appears that they are the majority.

Yes exactly.

I don't know. An intelligent consumer of social media can easily discern the worthlessness of the opinions of frequent and unrestrained posters.

But, anyway, I agree with everything in your OP.

Most consumers are not inteligente
