The Wokeness in Big Tech was accelerated around 2016 and 2017. Partly because of Trump, but also because of the Skeptic Community promoting this app called Candid, for which Skeptics got paid sponsorship money for. Candid has AI technologies to track people and it was used to go after people who opposed woke culture. That’s right. Skeptics who opposed SJWs ended up helping SJWs without realising it until it was too late. Thanks MundaneMatt.

Interesting, I knew about the acceleration of course (I have a previous comment about Trump becoming the anti-woke boogeyman that "unified" the "left" SJWs), but had no idea about Candid - sounds like the kind of foot-shooting I'd expect from the "Skeptic community".

The Skeptics are a shower of wankers. Also, not sceptical at all. They fell for the Candid scam hook, line and sinker, because it’s all about their egos. They became a community after Gamergate, and between 2014 and 2017 they grew rapidly as they criticised feminism and Islamic fundamentalism. Then in late 2017, it came out that some members of the Skeptic Community were hosting servers of YouTubers they wanted to dox. Skeptics like Kraut and Tea, Jeff Holiday and Based Mama were running that server. It later came out that Candid was a scam, and one former Skeptic by the name of Harmful Opinions exposed Candid. He got harassed by other Skeptics like MundaneMatt for this. The Skeptics organised a free speech conference in Kilroy for April 2018, but the conference was exposed as a scam in December 2017 after it was revealed that YouTubers who were advertised as speaking the event were banned from the event for having views that Based Mama didn’t like. And that was end of the Skeptics. And it still got worse, when it came out in August 2018 that MundaneMatt was flagging down channels of YouTubers who criticised him over Candid.

So where are the Skeptics at now? The ones that were actually good, like Andy Warski, Bearing, Ethan Ralph, Dave Cullen and Mister Metokur (he was affiliated with the crowd but not really a part of it) have distanced themselves from the Skeptics. They no longer support Trump, by the way. MundaneMatt still has a channel, but his videos are about him going to Walmart to review Blu-ray boxes (I’m not making this up). Kraft and Tea likes to get hit in the crotch every now and then. Jeff Holiday let’s his wife cheat on him and has an expansive dildo collection that his stepson is fully aware of. Sargon of Akkad tried to run in the European Parliament elections and not only did he fail, he destroyed UKIP. David Sherratt went to America to woo a girl he had a crush on, only for this girl to be busy and only be available to hang out with him for one day out of the whole week he was in the States - when she explained to him that her grandmother was dying, David Sherratt said he was hoping she’d "put in a little more effort". The Skeptic Community was like the Titanic, really.
