I don't entirely understand the Swift thing, but it reminds me of an experience I about 3 years ago when I was "radicalized" by the internet over something dumb. I was looking at houses. Many of them were "open concept" and regarded that trait as a major selling point, but I didn't really like them but it seemed that my opinion did not match the prevailing societal taste.

So one day, I typed "I hate open concept houses" into google, and low and behold there were others like me. People who appreciated walls! People who thought houses should feel cozy! People who didn't want to spend money on rugs to differentiate space in a warehouse-like room! I read think pieces on open concept houses. About how rooms should have district purposes to align with Buddhist mindfulness practices! About how the open concept kitchen was a tool of the patriarchy to make you cook and do childcare at the same time! About the energy efficiency of various floor plans!

I went from someone who didn't care for open floor plans, to someone who despised them for a myriad of reasons that had never occurred to me a week prior. This is the peril of the internet. The way the internet radicalized my opinion on something fairly meaningless opened my eyes to how people end up joining militias in chat rooms.
