Who will the masses ultimately follow: solitary tech savvy geeks who warn of naked emperors? Or armies of corporate-sponsored feel-good social influencers who entertain by promoting only themselves and the fad-du-jour?

I know none of the former who have built self-promotion-based $multi-million empires. I wish that were true of the latter.
