Finally I can comment Nick.

I think the real lesson here isn’t just about Yoon or even South Korea. It’s about how fragile consensus reality has become in the age of algorithmic media. YouTube didn’t set out to radicalize a president, but its mechanics (optimized for engagement) created a hall of mirrors where the loudest, most extreme voices kept bouncing back at him, louder each time. And once you’re convinced you’re the only one who sees the "truth," drastic action starts to feel like duty.
