While I do some what agree with your opinion about the Youtube social influencers systematically setting up the videos for maximum view count, which usually consists of click-bait screen captions meant to intice emotional sensations or shorts anecdote's to amuse the viewer in Hope's of increasing the profit earned by advertising revenue.
 I don't agree that every influencers has bullshit content or predictions. There are a few channels that offer some tidbits of truth that entertain as well as educate.
  YouTube is flooded with junk, it's gets hard to sort out the good channels from the bad when both use similar tactics for views. My guess is that trying to profit in a heavy competitve market amongst similar content providers must push is rough and pushes alot of these channels to the extreme.
