I think there are a few factors, but the biggest one I see is it's now so popular that every large sub has become an echochamber, you cannot disagree with the echochamber.

But, at the same time I think this has always been a problem, even 10 years ago the 'Reddit Hivemind' was a thing people spoke about. It's just worse now (because there are even more people using it, more bots reposting the same clickbait, more conglomeration of a few moderators owning several large subs)

HN has a hivemind too believe it or not.

Edit: would the hivemind care to stop upvoting this so I could make my point here?

definitely, but I like to think most people here are more self-aware or are less extreme about shouting down others. the heavy-hivemind topics always have a couple of good "woah there..." meta comments, and unlike reddit, they don't get buried and disappeared for the most part.
