Ethan claims that influencers like Asmongold often use controversial tweets as a strategy to farm engagement and trigger people for profit.

“He's extremely successful in terms of YouTube doing something like you say something like that gets millions of views >> and then you could just talk about it on Twitch and then that gets clipped up on YouTube. The amount of farming that comes from just making a tweet here. >> Crazy.”

Hila believes that internet personalities who peddle misogynistic views to young men are actively hindering their ability to form healthy relationships.

“Their marks, those are their marks. They're the ones who are keeping men stuck, boys and men stuck in this loop of loneliness because they are giving them terrible advice on how to actually connect with women. Like they are not getting the right skills.”
