I've been struggling with this for a long time. Maybe it's also because when I talk about and try to encourage the conversation, I oversimplify the programming part. I always try to encourage others not to think of it as sorcery, even though sometimes it is. But all of this is just to give non-experts the idea that it's simple to understand broadly. Of course, I spare them the time and technical details that require deep knowledge, just to keep them afloat.

This ends up being what @OP has described.

No matter what ideology one follows, the pervasive nature of platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and other interactive social media is inevitably problematic. This issue extends to platforms like X and Substack as well, which, despite their unique offerings, are not immune to the fundamental pitfalls of social media. They are breeding grounds for propaganda and contribute to a harmful addiction to endless, mindless scrolling. These platforms often become echo chambers, reinforcing misinformation and diminishing the quality of discourse. The risk is universal; irrespective of personal beliefs or ideologies, anyone can get infected by this detrimental cycle.

Both sides are to blame, left and right.
