I really wish the go to for everything hoi polloi wasn't Twitter. Twitter encourages trite, mean, and outrageous content, it's not going to have much of a variety of views that get any attention.

It infects anything.

I was listening to a podcast about my local sports team and they couldn't help but reference what they're 'not saying' relative to Twitter outrage ... repeatedly. And even address 'fan sentiment' purely through the looking glass of Twitter.

They talk about players who 'fans don't like' and yet you go to the game and you'd think that was the most popular player based on fan reaction...

Then I switch to my coding related podcast ... same thing, they address Twitter drama like it represents most coders.
