The formula is opt-in. There exists no perfect formula not in brick and mortar and certainly not online. If you or anyone hasn't noticed the culture especially here in America feels more hostile than ever. That's the result of one person who sent shock waves through every single citizen in this country and slews of them around the world. That stress which continues and continues to build effects every portion of life... Ten/Twenty years ago versus today is like night and day in virtually every single individual I know and/or encounter. Anger, rage, conspiracies, pressures, stressors in everyone and it flows out. That's nothing to do with feedback.
Social Media has literally turned ever so many people into armchair sociopaths or perhaps a new form of sociopathy one of, "I feel empathy for me and mine and no others... Period."
That strapped with literally tens of millions of people who care believe whatever suits their narrative whether lies or not, even when they KNOW its lie are too self-emboldened to even admit being wrong more or less acting upon it. It's something else! There are not enough institutions that can hold people who as we speak 30 years ago would be construed as mentally unstable, clinically certifiable aka: in need of counseling, perhaps medications and most certainly observational isolation.
It's not a new equation by any means. It is NEW to a large population which is capitalistic with values sets corrupted by worth both self-measure self-worth and worth of lifestyles. History shows time and again what happens to masses of people led by outlandishness and lie, they too become outlandish and lie. Now what those particular folks again throughout history DONT see as they never learn from history is they ultimately become the victims. They think they raise themselves in self-worth with self-measure emboldened by "mouthy leaders" which I use as a term as the "real term" Moderators likely not prefer me use. Victimize others yet when the REASONS they've been manipulate come to bare THEY become the victims of that which they emboldened. History displays this over and over and over and over. They are the ones who go off to die in wars, they are the one's who get minimized, they are the ones usually along with families/relatives that "Disappear" as they are the ones the pose the largest threat to leaders they emboldened as they have expectations of said leaders.
Understand what filters into you're lives and you will also understand it even filters into here, eBay. It'll filter into anyplace and anyone where a crack exists for it to flow through. Some will call it the battles of good and evil, others will call it The Human Condition... I call it "Weak people, sheep who want be lions and yet have neither the moral or mental compass to do either well."
