i asked him why he did not do that with a left wing fake news portal and his answer was:

left wing people are not that stupid to believe all and buy every crap.
advertising in the dumb-group is much more profitable.

when I saw his numbers I was really flashed. it reminds me on the dialer era with the difference that these people are paying to download the dialer.

as sad as the sound may sound: stupid are the sought-after target group of an industry that specializes in selling shit in bags.
