    This is why I hate Twitter and Facebook. Their algorithms are designed to promote posts that cause political division.

      Any service where you viewing ads is the actual product is the same. YouTube reliably will serve me up recommended videos with titles like “dumb lib-slammed!” or “pwning liberals at the library” or other random things. I never watch them and am confused why they keep sending them my way. The stuff being foisted on people is just toxic.
