I think it's for the average john smith. "Hey look, we have an internet information expert saying this is stupid" is much more effective than "Hey look, we have a greasy 17 year old neckbeard complaining he won't be able to look at porn". While both are arguing the same points, it's the former that is more worthy of listening to. It's one of the whole reasons I hate how journalists go talk to people on the street. I honestly don't give a crap about the opinion of some chick down the street from a house fire/arson that stood around for 3 hours before media interviewed her. Put the damn Fire Marshal on so he can tell me what's important. The media just makes me want to go troglodyte.
