That's not entirely fair - koi breeding has a 200-year history and a well-established network of breeders and professional societies. The point here is that in the wild wild west of social media, that network of professionals, aficionados and other experts is entirely lacking and opportunists have jumped into the gap. Thus are the "plantfluencers" hoist on their own petard. These are the same people that think they invented houseplants. They're annoying as fuck. I'll say this for the koi crew - I've never once run across them in all my years of aquaria and gardening.
