But what if they think they are right, but they are wrong.

Maybe you can change their mind with just a little bit of information.

The main issue being it's now automated and at scale with multiple tools available for generating and publishing wrongness.

Correcting such is a task at least an order of magnitude bigger than the problem ๐Ÿ˜•

Remember when they said, "wow some random strangers on the internet has changed my mind about x. thanks!"

Me neither. Most of the time the convo will only turn rage-bait-y and ruin everyone's day.

I don't get paid to put my energy correcting some randos & trolls.

What's difficult is making anybody conscious to be wrong, on the Internet.

Once, communication with a wide audience was driven by entities with some authority on that media. Somebody authoritative, some other authoritarian, but whatever the narration always showing to be "right".
Hence, anybody writing on this media (like I do now) feels to have inherited that power to be "right". G'd lk
