> It’s not your ideas against somebody else’s anymore, it’s influencer’s proven-to-be-right-ideas against ideas with less weight

Or in other words, argument from authority/popularity over ideas / merit. This is the opposite of good debate, even more so with the dubious distinction of a tech "influencer" being an authority.

By all means, borrow arguments if they are good, but please do not promote them because of who said them.
