The entire social media seems to be suffering from encounter with reality. The problem of the modern world, and the listless youths, seem to be that the online/virtual realm has translated minimally to the real world. The influence in the virtual world has only one application - advertisement. But to be able to generate advertisement revenue, the "influencers" require real world networks and skills to convince others to sponsor their virtual world life. Many live in their virtual world, madly venting their rage and paranoia, imagining that they are impacting reality, while the real world inexorably moves forward, leaving these zeroes behind. It may be the greatest form of social control ever devised, intentionally or otherwise, to channel the restless discontent of the masses towards entirely useless endeavors.
