People who grew up in the Web 2.0 era are obsessed with trends and influence. Posit A#1 of these people is: The more people who think something, the truer it is. Therefore, you must be in the biggest group of people possible in order for your groupthink be true. A small group that tries to disagree with a big group is wrong. Therefore, their ideas will die, and there is no point in being a member of such a group. You might as well just think for yourself, which, as they all know, is insane.
