Funny, yeah years ago it was easier to find interesting unique content. To quote slavoj zizek "when you think you escape it into your dreams, that is when you are within ideology".
Yeah it's overwhelming, I think we should just turn the internet off for a month nation wide.
Well I'm not in favour of returning to segregation of the Jim crow era, putting people into groups where they only see and hear information that confirms their confirmation bias is an echo chamber. And I'm not going to stop doing what I think is right because a group doesn't like my style, being disruptive is literally the whole point of political agitation, what do you expect me to do? Pipe down, use a style and language that is pre-approved dictated that allows for no challenge to the status quo under the excuse of sensitivity so no changes are made, maybe try changing the economic base instead of forcibly changing the individual otherwise all your doing is playing whack-a-mole.
Collecting information isn't censorship, banning and blocking someone for a different opinion is censorship.
There are other reasons but it's largely to do with being in a capitalist system with the cost of living causing hardship straining the ability to afford a home let alone raise a family.
These days you get accused of trolling for having a discussion, your positions and solutions are assumed to generalised pre-perscribed ideological positions, you are given death threats, harassed and given abuse for deviating from the norm. Honestly the internet could do with being turned off for a month.
