Wow, that just eliminates 99% of the people on social media...
You will be in a bubble and not see any other view points you don't agree with, IMO.
I like to watch people I agree and disagree with.
I still have more than enough content than I could ever consume in my life, even with eliminating click-bait. There are plenty of people with a wide variety of opinions and viewpoints that are able to convey their messaging without emotional manipulation, tons that I disagree with and/or that provide new perspectives. If you primarily use YouTube, I can see why you would think 99% of people do this, but it’s fairly localized to YT and similar sites.
Oh, okay.
Thanks for letting me know.
Yeah, most of the people I watch are on the main stream media types.
What are social media do you use, where you are finding these people? Any examples, I am always willing to check out new things!
Are you on mastodon? It doesn’t rely on an algorithm, so people feel free to post how they like instead of trying to tailor their posts to draw the most engagement. I’m still on the hunt for good YT and Instagram replacements, I know there are a few but I’ve been more focused on building up my lemmy/mastodon experience for now. I also joined an instance that avoids defederation as much as possible, so I will see more posts from a variety of viewpoints.
As for news/information, Reuters, PEW Research, and C-SPAN are my go-to’s. I recently discovered Improve The News, which I like quite a lot as it provides the perspective from “both sides”.
... As long as we remembbetvthat in reality there are usually more than two sides...
Yes, I should have clarified, that’s why I put “both sides” in quotes.
