We are not in an economic boom. I don't expect anyone except journous to jump in to this. The journous will think they will get this huge boost but I doubt it will be like last time, this is why archiving is important.

Another difference is distrust in the media, even stuff like CNN is hot garbage, there is no illusion of authority.

Average people started noticing stuff at a larger scale. We have more then a third of white students lying about their race on applications, more then half of white boys. They can't hide their racism this time around.
