- sangnoir 2y agoYou don't gave to be particularly motivated to get predigested opinions from influencers. There's too damn many boys and young men echoing how the "Matrix" keeping them down
- daseiner1 2y agoSure, but that has little to do with age. To rephrase in terms of an older crowd, there’s too many damn 60+ year old men parroting what they hear on conservative AM talk radio. But there are, nevertheless, 60+ year old men with well informed and well considered opinions.
- sangnoir 2y agoYes. As you noted, the first[1] batch of mass-media "influencers" were AM Radio hosts, then came cable infotainment , and now vloggers. 1. Perhaps preceded by syndicated newspaper columnists, but there was an editorial filter for those.
