Take Reddit for example. People are so afraid to voice their opinions in fear of "down votes" that they basically cave into peer pressure and submit to hive mind thinking.
Controversial opinions get down voted because someone will virtue signal and start a mob reaction of torrential down votes.
The woke/PC mob is strong only because people love to dog pile on any harsh/honest opinions.
We can't even have a discussion anymore in Reddit. Instead of a back and forth between commentors, differing opinions are viewed as hostile and down voted. As if the only comments "allowed" are those that align with someone else's.
It’ll be overall net-negative for human information curation. The barrier for entry to become an authoritative source of information is basically just going to be commenters who become the basis for AI responses based on hive-mind consensus on the sites models are trained with.
It sounds democratizing… and information availability should be democratized. But expertise shouldn’t be a totally democratic designation.
