Unpopular opinion:
1. The mainstream news media, as well as professional futurists, warned loudly since the 1990s that The Internet Will Lead To Filter Bubbles TM, which are Terrible and Must Be Avoided.
2. 2010s Internet "raid" culture which is today considered the root of all online harrassment, and the worst thing ever, actually grew out of heeding this warning: what they fear the most is Filter Bubbles, so they consciously jump into other people's forums deliberately to 'break the bubble'

@natecull i've always felt that i have no reputation and filtering tools powerful enough to build the bubble that i'd prefer to have around my internet media; "filter bubbles" are a only a theoretical problem until i do
random aside: the man who coined the term "filter bubble" went on to fight the problem by creating the website that gave us the "you won't believe what happened next" style clickbait headline ?
