You don’t half make some generalisations, unless of course you can qualify your statement about what “most publications” means.
Your sort of empty blunt assertions are what Twitter is made for. You should get on while you can

How to Break Out of Your Social Media Echo Chamber
Platforms like Facebook are designed to profit from humans' confirmation bias. Here's how to restore balance to your feed.
My assertions aren't blunt they imply that Twitter and Facebook both play into a users confirmation bias, it's rather scientific.

It’s got to be nigh on impossible for a human being to get this rich and not turn into a ****.
I know I’d be a complete **** if I was worth one billion quid, never mind a couple of hundred.

I agree. The algorithms are constructed to do this exactly. Same as all the other social media platforms out there. Designed to make money irrespective of the damage they cause. That's the reason I subscribe to non of them.Twitter accounts really are echo chambers, study finds

That’s only really true if people only follow a certain trend of person in the first place though. Not sure how that’s any different to someone only reading one newspaper.
I still think the majority of people don’t fall squarely in the box of left or right wing ideology and it doesn’t influence their opinion on every single topic, as much as people nowadays seems to want to pigeon hole everyone into one of the two camps.

Look at the furore concerning Brexit and Trump and how the Russians influenced the users of people on both platforms? As I said earlier it's either a good thing or a bad thing but single users can't decide which direction they go that would be up to the owners.
