I would dispute that digital marketing is unreasonably effective. In fact I would say the dead internet is a result of the exact opposite. Digital marketing is so ineffective that basically the only strategy that works is spamming it everywhere. If you don't believe me look at the revenue per user of ad driven tech companies.

Effective is a slippery word. I use it to mean effective in the sense of affecting what is presented. You use it to mean effective in the sense of making sales.
It is extremely effective in the first way, but extremely ineffective in the latter.
If I type a new marketing relevant keyword into google, I will get a perfect add for that in 5 minutes watching youtube.
Influencers are some of the most popular people on the planet for young people.
