It's not that they don't know what a specific word means, it's that they don't know what they're talking about, just reading a script

Then noticing that who/whatever wrote the script also doesn't know anything.

You're talking about something completely different than what I was in the comment you replied to

I took what you said as more than just implying that all YT performers were reading a script blindly. If that's all you meant, fair enough. I just expanded on the total thread overall, that internet has helped the spread and change of language in its short lifetime, and now that is spurred by lots of people using the same tool that behaves in a certain ways to create increases where they may not have normally occurred. They're termed YT "influencers" for a reason, their viewpoint and focus as well as whatever reading of a script without understanding can have a large effect quickly, and if those viewers are already exposed to the same tool and seeing the same stuff, that reinforces that evolution even more.

But again, this isn't a new thing, just far faster because of how it propagates.
