It is a bias probably of the groups you were in. I know people who would go on the internet to pick fights. Good faith is a good start. If the fight starts with know 'talking points' fed to them by someone else that they just googled up you usually know it is not worth messing with.
The honesty bit is 'gone' more I think. Because of things like 'lets clean up the comment sections', 'lets clean up the videos of problematic things'. So people are self filtering because they fear being tagged and brigaded because of something they do not see as wrong. This happens because the people with real money to spend showed up to advertise. The real customers have some sway.
