I would suggest the metaphor of a hole in the ground or bathroom wall rather than an echo chamber, but yes the momentum given opinions on the internet often doesn't reflect the world at large.

Take the film Snakes On A Plane. (please) If the internet reflected a real world movie going public, then that film should have made Titanic money before the tide turned against it.


I'll try to add more later tonight.
