Are we still acting like we don't know how these people are making their money?
There are substackers and influencers out there making 6 figures {or God forbid even more} regurgitating the good and bad of the chans, and this very site.
I'll give you the example. Back in the golden days of sports radio, I had the opportunity to be quasi involved behind the scenes. Not in the production, but I was there in another capacity. The best way to get people to call in? Piss them off. The other best way? Check on the Internet forums to see which popular sports story created the most engagement nationally and locally.
A lot of the opinions expressed by the hosts were at best disingenuous and were for the sole purpose of getting people to call in. Now why is that? Because it would generate more heat for the show. More ratings=?
Ad revenue$.
More ad revenue $ = ?
The Howard Stern show is a great example of this. Almost completely scripted with fake fights and arguments.
It's the same template now.
I could go on for days about what I see but that's the gist of my disdain for these charlatans we constantly source here. I know they're just parroting shit to make money like a stripper will feign interest in you when giving a lapdance.
