I feel like pointing at “influencers” and putting the blame on them isn’t really correct. They are probably more of a symptom.

Whose fault is it that some random blogger is being treated the same as people who studied something for decades?

E.g. the media owned by the rich or the governments bought “lobbied” by the rich.

A few crazy people will always exist, but currently the “inmates are running the asylum” and they actively promote this garbage. Just look at RFK.
