Ah, another Douglas Adams fan.  If he wrote that book today he'd call

But we all know what happened to the Golgafrinchan race after they shipped
(among others) the telephone sanitizers off in the "B" ark. I doubt that
"social media influencers" would provide the same health benefits as
telephone sanitizers.
