I think my argument was written in a way that could allow this misinterpretation, sorry. I wasn't claiming direct democracy makes people more informed, but I was saying it removes the additional corruption layer.

An uninformed public voting directly is still more aligned with public interest than uninformed representatives voting for whoever influenced them most.
