No. It’s the echo chamber that leads you to believe all content that disagrees with the echo chamber is crap.

People are capable of deciding content is crap on their own, without an echo chamber leading them to that belief. I’ve looked at the facts, analyzed a lot of situations, and have come to the independent conclusion that bigotry is pretty unhelpful so I don’t want to see it (online or anywhere). I don’t have a responsibility to engage with it online, so I frequent online spaces that have a minimum of it.
Sounds good in an internet comment, but in practice that means I end up reading racist propaganda, which is not something that improves my life. So then you eliminate the crap, and boom, you have an echo chamber.
