Of course, it’s all speculation, and obviously capitalism plays a role, I’m just not convinced it’s as significant as the role social media plays alone.

Don't you think those companies have incentive to push for things that provoke outrage, and thus engagement? Imho endless political debates are not the expression of democratic feelings. They are just the way they keep you on the platform for ads.
