Doesn't it make a lot of sense when you consider Kotaku and Buzzfeed post intentional rage inducing click bait for attention in a failing market space. If you want to get the most rage clicks you need a network to spread your articles and create a fake grass roots movement to do it. Wouldn't places like KIA or /v/ be the perfect place to post your fake cup head tutorial video or 'why killing white babies is okay' articles? Doesn't matter if you believe what the content is saying, it just matters you get eyes on it. So for failed journalists becoming moderators (I'm not pointing any fingers here so we're clear) or admins of communities designed to repost your low quality bait makes sense. Same way any time you look into grass roots activism it's always funded by large corps or political agencies. It's never actual grass root responses to things.

Has any one else noticed after the collapse of the alt-right aligned websites that any new ones popping up immediately attract pedophiles? Browsing the less censored websites almost always comes with people posting lolicon or wanting to argue about age of consent. I'm not sure if it's glowies trying to make the website look bad or we've seen a sharp decline in morality. It's hard to see 20 year old guys raised on the internet, used to places like Discord and pornhub not developing very warp sexualities. If full hardcore porn is 'normal' to you from a young age where is your mind going to go? Are these young men so screwed up by their environment they promote child abuse or is it psyops trying to make websites unreadable?
