For example, I love to sing. However, only one other person in my life has ever heard me sing and I haven't seen that person in years. I'm not sure I'm good at singing but I think I can hit the notes well enough.

Kudos for sharing. Before it was called the Man-O-Sphere, I used to listen to Dave Rubin and Joe Rogan. That was over a decade ago. Once Trump came onto the scene and they pivoted hard to the right, I couldn't listen to them anymore.

    a lot of the gender extremism stuff was free, but it pivots towards even more extremist content when money gets involved, because they need to ramp up the fear and hate content to sell pills and merch.

    i remember the early manosphere was just random blogs mostly... and then it became social media content, and then it became advertisements for books, seminars, supplements... and similar with the incels and the femcels and the 'femosphere'.

    just all grifters copying one another to convince sad angry people to give them their money. IMO

    exact same pattern for political extremism as well. the more crazy alex jones got, the more dick pills he sold, the more money he made.
