    The part about the filter bubble being the opposite way around is interesting. But it does intuitively make sense, because we do build our RL-society-circles as a filter bubble, so the online one stresses us because it is not that.

      I kind of get what they are coming from, but I don’t fully agree with their take of being more exposed to other views on the internet. At least not as a general rule.

      There are loads of people who (understandably) will block any and all opposing views from their feeds, making the remaining stuff only things they agree with
