Maybe a difference is, back in my parents' generation's time, nobody was willing to publish crackpots and quacks, but today, literally anyone can create a YouTube channel, and build viewers. Modern platforms exercise very little editorial control, and are willing to publish anything. So, the dry, boring experts are getting drowned out by popular Joe Rogans.

That's just the promise of the internet isn't it? If YouTube didn't exist, I'm sure joerogan.com would be more popular than some university professors website.

Do you want to get rid of the internet?
