    No it isn’t. Every demand will find a seller. That’s just how reality works.

    The overwhelming majority of “radical” content creators are just riding a grift train.

        No. Snake oil salesmen are not to blame for people craving snake oil. They’re merely filling the demand gap

              So your saying that the supply caused a demand?

                No I’m literally saying the opposite. You cannot manufacture demand

                    If we can manufacture demand, then supply-side economics is the way to go, full stop. Youre a big fan of Reagan, I take it?
