I’m invoking Hanlon’s Razor here. It really is just people’s collective stupidity, though a lot of it is from influencers with less than noble goals

And less than a handful of brain cells. Influencers don't get a stupidity pass, just because they don't care to question where the money comes from.

Hanlon's Razor is kind of bullshit, especially in the hypercapitalist world that we live in.
