What we didn't have 20 years ago was interaction bait/rage bait. I mean, I guess rage bait still existed, but it was FAR less common.

Don't feed the trolls, we used to say.

Now, everyone with a room temperature IQ and a massive ego can't help but correct people. So many videos of people deliberately doing things wrong that they HAVE to comment. Or poorly worded questions that make people argue over the correct answer when they can't even agree on what's being asked.

Not to mention that social media has given a bullhorn to every moron conspiracy theorist, and now we have a greater number of Flat Earthers than any time in recent history, not to mention political issues.
