The success of “HUGE* if true” reflects a shift in how public audiences consume scientific information. As traditional media outlets struggle to capture younger demographics, creators like Abrams are leveraging algorithmic discovery and high-quality production to democratize access to STEM topics. This indicates that optimistic, future-facing narratives about technology are currently highly effective for audience growth on social platforms.
