I really do wonder if social media has made America irreversibly dumber. This is just not that big a deal. Companies go where the dollars are. This is not new.

I think it's just given everybody the opportunity to see and comment on everything all at once, which... yeah, "irreversibly dumber" is one way of describing it, but more charitably you could say that it's just insanely overwhelming even when people are trying to act in good faith. (Which to be clear I don't think they are in this case.)

Ah. Nicely said.
