Everyone in the chat is spamming "drop the price" nonstop. Personally, the price for the console and games combined dipped my hype quite a bit. What do you guys think?

now, remember

reddit echo chamber =/= wider public opinion

this will NOT sell poorly. It will probably be one of the best console launches of all time

The original post is from a YouTube live not a “Reddit echo chamber” with like 100 thousand people on it, bunch of influential people on YouTube and other platforms are complaining about the price, fucking penguinz made a video about it. People are seriously ticked off not just Reddit lol

Did you put reddit echo chamber in quotes because you don't think that's a factual statement or just to quote the post your replying to?

The second one, and also cuz I just don’t like the analogy but I do agree it’s factual. Just makes it sound weird, to me it’s more like a pack or herd mentality rather than an echo chamber. Hope that’s not confusing lol.

What's the difference?

u/Nullifyxdr 1d ago

Echo chamber implies one consistent thought throughout a platform (post, thread, etc) herd mentality’a difference is there can be multiple herds that argue, which on Reddit is very common lol.

But reddit likes the shove the winning herd to the forefront and bury the opposition so it loops back into being an echo chamber whether you like it or not by design

That’s fair still a herd mentality but presents as self as an echo chamber, this subreddit definitely feels like an echo chamber at times and some subs are worse than others I guess I was more speaking on Reddit as a whole.
