The thing I love about bitcoin is how little opinion and narratives actually matter.
Miners are largely intellectually and emotionally disengaged. They do back-of-the-napkin math, plug shit in, and toggle power. They secure the network and settle transactions.
Influencers are the exact opposite. Influencers just tell plebs stories to keep them occupied while they wait around to get rich. The plebs begin to believe the stories are real and then form meetups to tell each other what their favorite stories are. Amd none of that matters in the least.
The miners don't care and matter the most.
The influencer-to-pleb story pipeline is based on caring and none of it matters at all.
