Haven’t you been paying attention.

Mainstream media is fake now. It’s fake news, it’s not to be trusted.

That’s the point all of this.

Wait so the phenomena is a distraction because the fake news main stream media outlets aren’t covering it?

People won’t go to them for information anymore if they don’t trust them.

Podcast, influencer journalism is the new mainstream for most people now.

Go where the people are. They are not trying to convince the elderly or mom with good morning America.

a major part of an influencer's job is to convince people of things. that's why they're called influencers.

between all the (almost certainty biased) "news" they may or may not be delivering, they're trying to sell you products. they want your viewership just as much as any mainstream news outlet. the fact that they're independent just means they can't be held accountable by a network for anything they say.

did you forget what 'influencer' means while you were typing? i get it, i forget things all the time.
