I think you may be missing the point on Wikipedia. That isn't just a bunch of viewpoints on "both sides" of issues. Key is that there is only one page and one reality for any topic. That is achieved by constantly weeding out misinformation and falsehoods by administrators. In contrast, social media amplifies emotionality and feeds the known biases of the human brain. I think your mental model of how much people hear opposing views is way too optimistic. But I hope you're right.
