There are influencers and sellers consciously working to evade any transparency. Made are trying to be just too cute with their ‘see what I have here’ posts.

The crafting social media communities are struggling with this too. /c/knitting has a new mod trying to establish rules and boundaries. Just as the community was starting to take off, the sellers and influencers started to be evident.

I saw someone ask on Mastodon if we are witnessing the next evolution of humanity; those who can be skeptical of the information they are presented with vs just agreeing with it because it tells them what they want to hear. The example was that a disproportionate number of conservatives died from just not believing information about covid from people who were smarter (at this specific subject) than they were.
