    So Meta has been pulling this algorithm tactic for years, especially with teens, but now you’re mad about a small part of the problem? Well, I suppose it is a step, I admit. I just don’t get it, why don’t we all just leave Meta?

    The religious will never let their religion get in the way when it comes to filling their own pockets.

      Surah 104. Al-Humazah

      Woe to every slanderer backbiter.

      Who gathers wealth and counts it over.

      Thinking that his wealth has made him immortal.

      By no means. He will be thrown into the Crusher.

      I know it’s basically impossible to say someone isn’t in a religion (much to the chagrin of many a devout and reasonable religious person), but this surah is so specifically against this guy in particular.

      I’m sorry, explain to me how making money by fooling bigoted assholes is anything except funny as hell? Unethical, sure, but I respect the hustle.

      It sounds like you’re mad cause you could have fallen for it, given your apparent /r/atheism attitude you’re displaying here.

      Also, it does sound like he didn’t know what was going on with the videos. The onus is still on the bigoted dipshits who gave him an audience.

        He’s not a bystander though, he is encouraging racist ideas and thoughts. I see spreading hate as a bad thing, and the fact that Alex Jones or this guy got rich off it makes me actually more angry, not impressed by his hustle.
