As an early 30's Millennial, my feelings about the "Disinformation Age," which may be a useful term, is my generation's internet has always been seeping with disinformation from my memories of unfettered broadband access starting in the late 90's/early 2000's, while our parents had no clue what we were up to. Many of us learned a lot of lessons over the past decades and have been horrified to see our parents fall for the tricks we did when we were 12. That does not mean we won't fail similarly to the next generation of charlatans, but I think our political moment in the US supports my view. I'll also note that what used to be "As Seen on TV" products are now marketed with Instagram-chic, so the shifting target of marketing is clear. I can't help but wonder if every generation hasn't seen the same since at least radio.
