With a 1:10 ratio, I might be able to see myself as among the rare set who can influence people. With the 1:10,000, you have just killed my ego.Furthermore, if I think that I am among the class of America's influencers, I might take that responsibility seriously and start promoting products and sharing my views, no matter how trite or trivial, via my blog. If you have killed my ego, you will render me ineffective and I will no longer perpetuate America's brand of consumerism or civil society.
