I wouldn't hold my breath. This stuff operates on an emotional level, not a cognitive/intellectual level. Emotions are powerful because they are largely opaque to most people most of the time and are a strong driver of behavior. Like the old saying: you can't reason a person out of a position or belief that they didn't reason themselves into. As long as this emotional manipulation is profitable (e.g., 'engagement'), I don't see a way out of this.
