I suppose the other thing with the self-help manosphere stuff is that, given the platforms these messages are spread on (Youtube, TikTok, etc.), it's all driven by attention and clicks. So in general, the cigar smoking ex-kickboxer who thinks women should be on leashes is going to be more successful than someone giving valuable, but more tame advice and perspective.

Like I said that isn't unique to self help though. That's true in general that superficial clicks and views drive almost all online discourse. Guys like Hasan are at the top of the heirarchy in the streaming world not because of his intellect but because of aesthetics and dumbed down content.
