It is fairly easy to accept that it is just amplifying human nature. The main issue is that with the major locked down aggregators the amplification is intentional and continuously changed to increase the amplification by doing things like stuffing divisive posts into feeds.
A huge chunk of humanity is currently tripping up over the “is fascism bad?” question. There’s no fucking way we’re tackling the subtle influence of internet algorithms.
On the bright side, if we do ever get around to the topic there will probably be a lot fewer opinions to contend with.

It might be amplifying already existing traits, but that doesn’t excuse it. It’s still damaging to society at large
