You don't know what I question. There are forces who are quite happy for you not to vote and to not trust politicians or 'mainstream media' so they can appear more legitimate. I find reputation works fairly well (better than Steem rep anyway). It is hard to win and very easy to lose. I've met a fair few politicians and even the Tories are human. Of course there are people behind the scenes with money and influence, but they are human too. I'm not going to spend all my time watching random videos and will choose my sources with care.
