It's official. I was right. Calling it now. I have for the past two or so years been discussing how there has been a shift in the community (this community + general conspiracy sites such as ATS, Reddit, LunaticOutpost, GLP, telegram, GA, 4fhan etc)

It's mostly native ads. It seems like we are helping prop up a new kind of influencer....tim Poole, Scott Adams, etc...
They are the 'conservative' voice boxes, we are the 'grassroots' and 'fringe' and 'alt/extreme' etc.
Conspiracies are 'right wing nut jobs' when the left discuss it, and the 'left wing fascists' are when the right discuss it in the mainstream.

We are essentially keeping the grift going, and providing the next talking points for the grifters.
Additionally, they then have their PR accounts used to link to one of their affiliates and this is the grift.
--
They then support one another by saying 'if you want to learn more you gotta really look at @$hit7∆|53®' for the real details (but they have the same details lol - not more - just more focused perhaps...)

Flat earth was a good example. It was immediately turned into a grift despite the argument so it may have some validity, but it doesn't matter because it follows the grift....so you cannot trust it.
--
Everything is following the grift....anytime real stuff comes up...the grift is just used to deflect. It's incredible. The posts on this website get voted up and there is a mm of controlling the 'hotness' of posts. They push their garbage mostly to the top, and real posters get sidelined. This place is a wasteland yet you have use three different browsers, and a shit ton of tricks to see them all.....
We are and have always been able to control things but as a whole allow outside forces to control us. I think of it like this. What if every well taken care of dog in the world suddenly was flooded with news of hurt or abused other dogs and they all got depressed and demoralized even though their life had not changed. And then lots of dogs became lazy and unfit and sick and sad thinking of the other abused dogs. Then their puppies became sick and sad too and soon almost all dogs became fat and sad and no longer wanted to play. I believe this is what is happening to humanity (perhaps intentionally) with an overload of info. There will always be suffering. Be the light you want to see it helps way more than being demoralized. As silly as it sounds change starts with you. Someone passionate about something can stir passion in others. It’s good to know about plans and know that evil exists however if that evil becomes an obsession or fear perhaps they have won.
Definitely agree with this. We need to build up our future, rather than tear at our past.
