I definitely agree with your first paragraph. When a dude with a hat and a twitter account outmessages a zillion dollar operation something about how those zillion dollars are being spent is not quite right.
On the other hand, I’m not sure that the vacuum exists. It feels like the internet has brought people closer together, and a traditional middleman has been squeezed out. I’m not sure the space is still there for a new person to fill.
I don’t think that fast traveling blog articles equate to “people are closer together”. It’s very cheap to start new memes that are adopted by large amounts of people.
I’m saying that there isn’t a space between dudes and dudes they want to talk at. No power vacuum. Technology filled the gap. You can just tweet or facebook to all the people who follow you.
The fact that a new person can come to power tomorrow suggests that there’s a power vacuum. The status quo is not powerful to prevent new people from taking power.

The proper way to spend the money today is to buy the right people in the media, so they will manufacture spontaneous outrage against your opponents.
Some people have not updated yet, and are spending money the ways that used to work better in the past.

Oh, I misunderstood you. I agree with what you actually meant.
