I'm not arguing with you, but I'd like to understand that lay interest better.
Is it just people pissing everywhere to mark territory? Is it an expression of curiosity? A sign of some level of commitment to certain subjects? Something else?

Looking someone in the eye and telling them they're full of shit fell out of fashion a few decades ago so there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of social pressure on bullshit in general. Add a multi-billion dollar industry that actively incentivizes broadcasting bullshit takes and in retrospect the outcome seems obvious.
