People are generally gullible. Most people fear originality, strive to maintain commitment, and conform to a group narrative. These are all irrational noncognitive behaviors strongly aligned to perceptions of security. It’s hard to fix stupid.

Before people obtained most of their news from social media they were getting it from pseudo journalism comedy television. The primary motivation of the supplier then was advertising revenue just as it is of social media now.
