That sounds like it would be great at creating echo chambers.

what you are suggesting would make the problem of echo chamber (bubble) worse than it is today!

Based on your description alone, it sounds like a great way to generate echo chambers.

Interesting.. wouldn’t that lead to an echo chamber?

Doesn't exactly this behavior create echo chambers and lead to polarization?

It does, unless you want to create an echo chamber (which HN somewhat is)

Hmm feels like a great tool to create echo chambers

What if I want something that isn't an echo-chamber?

Won't that just turn echo chambers into even bigger echo chambers?
