New preprint! We developed new measurement tools to examine moralization in ~2B Twitter/X & Reddit posts and ~5M traditional media texts.

Key finding: moralization increased markedly on social media from 2013-2021; more than traditional media; associated with multiple user dynamics

Broadly agree, but I don’t think the *only* cost is feeling bad. Depends on whether you think there’s some value in people having a common understanding of what’s out there. Could in principle be easier to build cumulative science if folks were more collectively attuned to common body of knowledge
