Such a simplistic and frankly dumb take, have you really thought about what you've said at all?
Regularl people shouldn't have a voice, all media should be run and distributed by an authority of some kind? If you're not rich enough to own a newspaper company then you don't get to express yourself? Only the likes of Rupert Murdoch should be allowed to set trends and influence people?
Or did you just mean 'some women are popular on social media for doing things that don't interest me and therefore influencers and all of social media is evil and I hate it' because that's what it always seems to boil down to with kneejerk anti haters.
you're basically Alex Jones with that level of paranoid delusion, they're just a service that exists not a communist plot to turn frogs gay.
And yes of course people attempt to control narratives on social media, you think it was better when Murdoch could just print anything he liked? and if even if you could prove it's bullshit the only thing you could do was moan about it to some dunks down the pub.
Social media isn't perfect but your characterisation of it is absurd and based on nothing but kneejerk hatred of change
