Specifically, what arguments fail (that support capitalism) due to faulty evidence, misunderstanding of capitalism, lack of knowledge regarding Marxism, etc.?

Agreed. “Influencers” are making money because people are paying them. So it’s clearly lucrative for some reason that I’ll never understand.

I think their argument is that the job exists because of capitalism and without the driving force of an economy being capital, the role of an influencer is gone.
