A real-world example is Bowling Green, Kentucky, where around 10% of the population engaged in a pro-social media experiment. Rather than extreme voices dominating—as in traditional town halls or antisocial corners of the internet—bridging ideas went viral, producing nuanced statements. Reports show over 70% of statements were highly agreed upon, proving people are less polarized than they appear on traditional platforms. Taiwan has deployed such pro-social algorithms since 2014, now spreading globally.
