I've talked about this here before and I should make a video on it. Talking people out of their brainworms requires a lot of work. Both from you, and them.
Think of it like learning a new exercise. At first, its going to be hard. The muscles are weak, and any kind of work is going to make them tired. But eventually, they grow stronger and the exercise becomes easier. Our brains are similar.
Thinking in new ways requires work. Like walking up a flight of stairs. You've already gone up these stairs hundreds of times. You muscles are honed for this exercise, and you welcome the challenge. But they've never climbed these steps.
So, it's important to allow them to take brakes. Instead of trying to drag them all the way to the roof, stop at the first floor. You can work up from there. Create a small "landing" for them to arrive at every now and again. Otherwise they'll walk all the way back to the bottom, and you'll have a hard time getting them to try again.

It's more effective to just make brash, in-your-face youtube vids that unapologetically use offensive titles, followed by an in depth explanation in the video.
The problem of course is that youtube censors or at least deprioritizes such vids
