This guy is at that strange intersection where right-wing politics, religious conservatism, and inceldom meet.

    I don’t think it’s really promoting the video, but more showing people who to stay away from.

      It’s easier to stay away from something you don’t know exists. That’s like saying “Taste this! It’s awful!”

      This is only going to drive more traffic to the video

        To me, it depends on the person seeing this post. If they think to watch it, then they will, and there’s no stopping it, so to use your example “Taste this! It’s awful!”

        On the other hand you have people who see this post, and think that they shouldn’t watch this video. As an example it’s like saying “Taste this! It’s awful!” And respond to it “No, I won’t taste it.”

        It all depends on the person. Sadly this sort of content is gonna be spread around everywhere anyway, and there’s really no stopping it.

        I see your point and I hope you see mine. I hope you have an amazing evening/day!

          The thing is, from this post alone, I can’t even tell who it is so I could avoid them without clicking through to the video and generating engagement.
