Social media presents a skewed representation of public sentiment, primarily reflecting the opinions of a small, hyperactive group. While the majority of people experience a tranquil daily life, online interactions often convey extreme perceptions filled with anger and discontent. Recent research shows that a mere 10% of users generate the vast majority of political content, dominating platforms like X. This distortion can lead to misunderstandings about societal feelings and the real challenges facing humanity, as nuanced opinions are often drowned out by louder, more extreme voices.
Just 10% of users produce roughly 97% of political tweets, creating a distorted perception of societal feelings and opinions on platforms like X.
Social media amplifies extreme voices while muting moderate, nuanced discussions, leading to a warped image of societal sentiment and challenges.
