Agreed. But it also looks like as if you either have to be in an echo chamber or you will get attacked viciously. We are already so polarized, that discussion and exchange of ideas becomes almost impossible.
I for one have stopped commenting on posts I disagree with. You cannot convince anyone anymore. We live in a post fact society, opinion matters. If you disagree, you are a shill, a troll, a racist, an idiot or an antis****e. Certain subjects are better not discussed on steemit as well, if you don't want trouble :)
