100% agree. People don't do enough of their own research, ever!Indeed. Democratization has arrived to every sector.
In my field, Survey Monkey turned...well, any monkey, into a market researcher overnight. But this had unintended consequences.
There’s a method to the madness of data collection: scientific sampling, questionnaire design, statistics, research methods, analytics, etc. But some executives believed that by buying Survey Monkey, they could hire a high school graduate, give them Survey Monkey and voilá, they had an in-house research department. That was far from the truth. As the old saying goes: garbage in, garbage out.
Thankfully, things have found a happy medium. Businesses learned that it is better to hire the services of a research professional than attempt to do data collection on their own.
YouTube is more entertainment than anything else and, as such, has fewer consequences. But disinformation has become a big problem today, and most of it comes from social media, including YouTube.
To quote Dr. Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park:
"You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now"
