Well, the problem isn't that this is being manufactured, but rather exacerbating already existing problems. The Russian IRA didn't start racism in the US around 2013-2016. 4chan didn't found fascism in the west. North Korea didn't originate the very first crypto scams. You're absolutely right that the problems are blown way out of proportion and there are so many trolls out there, it's hard to tell if any one asshole is paid to be an asshole online or not. However, it's best to not over-correct and deny these problems exist at all, even with hyperbole.
I do, personally, feel it’s best to simply disregard online rhetoric entirely. It’s genuinely a perfect catch all for 90% of people. You spend more time with actual humans and you maintain a grounded perspective while chiseling those of others. I’ve lost nothing since turning everything besides Reuters into fiction. You carve your own space out of the people around you.
Which is to say, my vaguely meandering around your point is more cheeky than antagonistic.
