I LOVE the concept. Polarization is a real problem and the media is failing us by being both biased and deceptive.
The app fulfills its promise of being unbiased by providing an affirmative and negative perspective on each issue. It does a great job of presenting each issue as undecided so you can form your own opinions.
However, it fails in three critical ways.
In descending order of importance:
1. It does not explain the cheap tactics each side uses to straw man and denigrate the other. Knowing the messaging tactics of each side would go a long way to helping people resist the pull of agenda bearing media outlets.
2. It does not focus on the most controversial, divisive issues. Those should be front and center.
3. It does present the BEST form of each argument. It’s helpful to get an idea of why the perspective of one person who stands for one side of the issue, but unfortunately reading the opinions in the app feels like reading cheap arguments written by high school debaters. They cherry pick stats and anecdotes that support their points rather than getting to the heart of the issue. There is no way to see how each side would respond to the opinions of the other.

Just like so many other media outlets, 4b is committed to giving equal time to absolute garbage. If you’re interested in playing nice with imbeciles, you may like this app. If you’re an activist or advocate, don’t waste your time at 4b. Its for people who want to feel good about doing nothing.

4b is a truly unique experience in today’s divisive and polarized world where most of us only get information from one side of the ideological spectrum. I especially appreciate the comments section and the ability to converse with others, regardless of their point of view.
