You're literally comparing the decision making skills of lesser financial means to those of child - which strikes me as extremely problematic. To claim that the "us" commenters of HN have some specialized skillset, tuned to consume better media than the rest of the world, absolutely baffles me.

All I'm saying is that in almost all domains, everyone in modern society relies upon the expertise of others. That's equally true for Bill Gates as it is for the homeless person waiting in line at the soup kitchen. I'm not even going to respond to your second paragraph because it's almost insulting that you thought it necessary to ask.
