Lines for the image of the resonators Israel today

Just recently, I wrote a review column about the end of the season of "Manaich", at the end of which was a jagged statement that winked at the obsession of bibists to ride on message boards and present them at every opportunity and platform.

Surprisingly, or not, all the shares I received for the above text on social networks came from the accounts of right-wing surfers, bibists, such that it was clear that they would not agree with the content that I chose to flood through it and would even be annoyed by it. I want to say, this is not necessarily the target audience for which the words were intended in the first place .

You can call them "the echoing ones".

People who do most of their work on social networks are focused on spreading opinions of the opposite side.

They can be found on any social network feed, and they are very noticeable because they actually broke Facebook's algorithm.

After all, the social network builds a personal feed for everyone based on a limited circle of virtual friends;

We like those we identify with, and this is how the network learns us and arranges for us a feed that shouts the same opinions.

The resonators manage to break through the wall of consent by spreading content that they themselves disagree with.

If you notice, it's always the same people.

When a Likud activist like Rami Ben Yehuda is filmed threatening police officers, it is clear that the video will end up on Ben Caspit's Twitter.

And when a journalist like Nadav Jacobi called Ben Gvir a "Nazi" then the video was immediately published on the "Hatzel" page.

There are thousands like them - people who dedicate their internet lives to echoing the other side.

Leftists do this to righties, and vice versa.

Orthodox to secular and vice versa.

Liberals and conservatives, feminists and chauvinists, vegans and carnivores.

Each side has its opponents.

People like to get angry.

Nerves and anger stimulate adrenaline, and produce an inner desire to shout or click like.

This is how the resonators gain exposure, followers and power.

Understanding human nature, along with the blind pursuit of ratings, also caused the television channels to adopt a similar method.

More and more annoying items are broadcast just to annoy viewers.

Statements that don't deserve to be mentioned on television can open a news release.

In the name of education and shaming, TV programs or just private individuals provide a consistent platform for spreading the views or actions of extremists or morons.

By spreading such posts among a base of followers who are opposed to them, the resonators create a ground that invites stings and put-downs, and in some cases even threats and lynchings.

It's a form of hidden bullying, cruel shaming.

That is why the echoes are the foundation stone for all discrimination and division in our society.

In the name of the public's right to know, they plant the seeds of fermentation and are responsible for spreading weeds directly onto our screens.

This column probably won't get many shares because it's not meant to annoy sectors.

Maybe just the resonators themselves.

None of them will share it because it breaks the algorithm that broke the algorithm, and let's see who disagrees with me this time.
