    I’d think then you’d hit the issue of a total echo chamber where anything even slightly challenging the mob gets deleted.

      That’s not necessarily an issue. The mob is often right.

      I’ll take the mob over the despot any day, unless I am the despot.

        I have to disagree with you there. History shows the mob is rarely much better than the despot and the mob becomes the despot.
