The system shall indeed create the dynamic of converging on some most reasonable positions (such as that climate change is not a hoax and is man-made, etc.), which you can read as a homogenisation of views, but also naturally keeps itself out of complete balance: when the views are sufficiently homogeneous in a community or the society at large, most of the comments will generally be low-information value to most of the readers, but in such a muted environment, any new promising theory or novel perspective will receive more attention than it would in a highly heterogeneous belief landscape. Which creates the incentive for creating such new theories or perspectives.
Thus, the discourse and the belief landscape as a whole should equilibrate themselves at some “not too homogeneous, not too heterogeneous” level.
