if you don't want language to evolve based on the whims of vapid influencers, help steer society away from vapid influencers being influential rather than getting pissy about how people speak.

What you're doing is very close to complaining about poor people speaking "lazily", and telling them to try harder, because obviously you're the shining example of enlightened correct speech.
