Academics don't think Internet will ruin everything. That usually comes from people making the viral thing du jour. Academics tend to know actual history. As for the first versus popularizer—you're judging different games by the same standard. Different incentives.

I think this is one of those things that depends on the PhD. Are they hiring critical theorists? Or are they hiring bioinformatics types?

I've seen hires across the board in social sciences, to be honest. They could do with some more critical theorists in some fields. Some of the stuff is surprisingly practical in its implications; what gets dunked on social media is the stupidest version (as one expects).

Academia itself is not the track for people who care most about money. If you do manage to get a tenure-track job at a reasonable place though, it's literally career lottery. It's a secret because the happy ones aren't complaining on social media. They're just happy.
