If someone sets themselves up as an "influencer", then they certainly should be knowledgeable about the subject they talk about, which would include other game systems if talking about D&D, especially if the focus is on mechanics.
Unfortunately, the internet, speaking confidently, and number of followers (which can be bought) grants a false authority, and many thousands of people are far too willing to listen to people who know nothing about what they are talking about. There is always a high demand for snake oil.
I don't see any solution to that on a broader scale, and clearly it affects things that are far more important than D&D.
