A hate propagation mechanism

From Episode 543 Scott Adams at the 11 minute mark.

If we judge people by their mistakes, we end up hating everybody because we all make mistakes.

And man is the press looking for mistakes. Mistakes sell. Especially mistakes by those whom we dislike or disrespect. The digital mob behaves exactly in this way. A lifetime of accomplishment and then a whiff of a mistake and boom . . . you are unemployed or charged or disgraced. Even if it is all a lie and you did not actually make the mistake claimed.

The promise of digital media is still there but its most obvious manifestation is as a hate propagation mechanism.
