This strip is from 2007, when we were still the early years of the social media explosion. This was the beginning of the downfall of our civilization. There’s too much reliance today on social media and electronic gadgets. Society is becoming dumbed-down and lazy, and the sad thing about it is this is being done voluntarily.
Sites such as YouTube (what they are referring to here) have enabled fringe groups to spread their rumors and conspiracy theories to a world-wide audience. A potentially beneficial technology has been misused to create polarization and spread hate.
