Having their livelihood bound to Bitcoin via industry sponsorships skews their messages heavily toward profit motives, thereby blurring the truth of the influencers' messages.
This is likely the reason McCormack changed the name of his podcast. He could only question whether LN was true self custody so many times before secretly realizing the BS he was shilling.
The ideals that make (made?) Bitcoin amazing exist in a few other coins, inspite of influencers consistently saying Bitcoin is the only one, a number of others are also decentralized, censorship resistant, limited supply.
