Thanks orbat. So far it doesn't seem to be going that way. Some good hubskiers not only post eclectic stuff, but make sure to share it when they find it. For example, cgod is someone I follow that not only posts a good variety of topics, but also shares oddities. Sometimes I share things not because I agree or don't, but because I like the conversation that is going on. It's definitely something we'll keep our eye on, and we have a few ideas for alternate mechanisms of discovery, but only time will tell.
My hope is that there will always be a competition to be the most interesting content sharer. If an echo-chamber begins to form, hopefully there will be those that will maintain hubs that run counter to it. If you only follow these people, you should be able to escape the chamber to a large extent. Comments may be another issue, however, and I think creative solutions might be required there eventually. We'll see.
