>either people complain that they go slow and are too careful, or they will video and complain about every small traffic infringement that they make.
Is there a name for this (and related) effects? Obviously, in a group of several hundred thousand people, there will always be at least a few people that complain about something for the exact opposite reasons. That's not a signal of usefulness. I feel we need a name for the some-rando-has-an-opinion-that-gets-picked-up-and-amplified-by-"the algorithm" phenomena. And the more fringe/out-there, the more passionate that particular person is likely to be about this issue, when "most" people feel "eh" about the whole thing.
The answer to everything in life is always "somewhere in the middle".
We could call it GuinansEyebrows' law, but it's definitely far from new.
