IMO, I think the social media is already balanced.
For everything that exist, there's an advantage and disadvantage to it, and social media is not left out. But one thing I have come to realize is that these platforms go extra mile to keep their users on it for as long as possible, which almost sound like a way of trapping someone addictively. They work with good algorithm that tracks what you like(I.e content that suits you), and keep pouring it to your face, just to keep you as long as possible, which to me is probably one of the highest disadvantage.

But that doesn't mean that we don't have those who get good contents only. In as much as entertainment seem to be the major way to keep a user, there are still few users that have sharp minds, and can dictate what they want on their own.

And as for the aspect of people's opinion, well, everyone can never think the same, so a user has the right to filter what's good and what's bad even though some of these social platforms fails to do it. I can agree to the fact that some people can be very toxic, probably bringing their real life anger and problems to the media, just to make themselves feel better. Well, like some users on this forum would say, "Grow a thick skin". But unfortunately, not everyone has that mental capability to do so.

And as for the question, well, not all news though.
News that sometime concerns me are Crypto related and natural disasters.
Of course, when Bitcoin dumps, you don't expect me to start smiling about it, even though it's still going to recover. And, you also don't expect me to start smiling when I hear people dying from natural disasters that was never their cause.
