No Excuses Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 InfoWars will die off. But Jones is leaving behind an awful creation and idea. There is an enormous marketplace for fake news and wild conspiracies on the right Smarter people are going to come along and do what Jones did without the crazy.

Also, its becoming abundantly clear that AJ had very few actual disciples, and a whole heck of a lot of gawkers. Youre being a bit of a drama queen.

Though I suspect that kind of site would be woefully unprofitable. So I guess my pondering answers itself. Selling your info is how they make money. There's been lots of alternatives to Facebook/Twitter going to back to 2010. Google+, Diaspora, Friendica, etc. For some reason they never caught on.

The space you leave behind in the digital ecosystem gets taken over by someone else very quickly. The blueprint is there for every con artist in the world. You can make a ton of money peddling BS to your average GOP voter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 You know how infuriating a person has to be for me to want Marco “heels” Rubio to come out on top in an exchange? Alex Jones level infuriating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what Zoony is saying is the fact that his supposed fans didn’t follow him off of those platforms to his own website, is a strong argument that his fan base isn’t as big as people thought. That it was mostly people gawking at the crazy guy, that aren’t interested enough to go out of their way to hear what he has to say. That’s not an argument without merit.

Getting deplatformed on the big social media sites is the end of your relevance today. Free societies? It’s a problem for all societies. The size of these platforms are why authoritarian regimes have cracked down. The fact that only certain kinds have been banned are why most in free societies are nervously accepting large corporations having this kind of power... for now, anyway. If they crack down on the wrong “charlatans” all hell will break loose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it was only gawking. Jones business model is based on supplements. He can't stay in business without those. He shouldn't have missed a step if only the true believers were buying those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlatans are as old as the country Perhaps the biggest charlatan is our country’s history is sitting in the Oval Office, so I’m not sure ‘drama queen’ is a fair assessment. Speaking of “it’s not just the right”, I was asking my wife something along these lines. Does the Left have a version of Swift Boat? A version of putting up campaign signs made to look like they’re from a candidate (to make them look bad)? Has the Left’s candidates tasked their staffers to get an Independent on the ballot? How about Benghazi? PizzaGate? Those aren’t rhetorical questions. As much as I see the Right constantly/frequently “cheating”, I don’t know if I’m missing the Left doing the same sort of thing. One obvious factor here, it seems like the Right’s base has been conditioned to eat this stuff up, right?. The polls showing how Republican voters changed their ideologies/opinions based on who was in office sure suggest this anyway, and it makes sense considering the popularity of the Hannity’s, Limbaugh’s and O’Reilly’s. They’ve fertilized the ground for those weeds. Edited September 8, 2018 by skinny21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
