I am highly suspicious of any explanation that includes the claim “then every understood this, and so they behaved differently”. I don’t think it’s impossible for population-wide updates and observations to occur, but this seems like a complex enough phenomenon that I would highly doubt a majority of the population could, even implicitly, come to agreement on it.

I assume it means “people in the author’s filter bubble stopped taking subcultures seriously as a force for good”, which seems pretty plausible.
I agree. Can you point to where the author uses this in his model?
(I have no strong opinion on the model, I mostly pattern-matched when I read the call for more models)
