    How “influential” are they really, though?

    Sure, Joe Rogan has many listeners, but Twitter is pretty much irrelevant for the vast majority of people. It’s a bubble of people who think their opinion is worth blasting out. It only seems relevant because journalists are part of this bubble.

    Twitter had (according to its own numbers) 77mio daily active users in the US. That sounds a lot, but if you discount all the bots and people who just use is as a glorified RSS reader, the actual numbers are much lower.
