>Like why is social media inspiring us to such hostile nit picking on behaviour and ideals?
So I'd like to point out something I've not seen mentioned yet. That is what I call 'small down behavior', that is nit picking on those that don't fall into some small group that is acceptable.
It seems that social media has not caused any new behaviors, but instead given a new and expansive venue for the behavior to spread.
I’d say a lot of that is genetic and or cultural. At the very least there are many of us who do not possess that instinct. We have much lower karma scores but we don’t care.
Just because you don't care about something doesn't mean it doesn't affect you.
For example with many websites, high karma posts/users show up at the top of the feed. This means those addicts messages are the ones you're getting subjected too every day.
