What do you mean? Eloquence and persuasive methods have existed at least since Antiquity (just look at the records of Plato in Greece). What it takes to believe any kind of BS is just the absence of critical thinking. This is the real root cause.

I really doubt that pure eloquence can compete with the visual smorgasbord that modern marketers can create, all learned after spending billions on mass market advertising over decades.

Plato couldn't laser-target his message to 5,000 different segments carefully curated with an extensive re-marketing campaign.
