It's hard for me to agree or disagree because I am pretty far removed from popular culture, but I do recall ten or more years ago that science popularization was itself kind of popular. People like Michio Kaku would get invited onto tv to talk about this or that. Of course half the stuff they would say was utter nonsense meant to drive engagement.
