Many groups in real life have some degree of a non-qualifying fringe. I remember when theredpill started on reddit, it was practical and rational. Then around 5000 subscribers it became known as "the worst sub on reddit", and retarded angry assholes started flooding in, due to the false promotion.

IMO, the non-qualified have no effect on the ideas or philosophies they claim (or just imply) they represent. Even if 99% of claimers are fakes, that doesn't give them any authority to represent something they don't.

Thanks. I didn't start off very well with my first reply.

They don't have authority, but at the same time they end up with some sort of power to segway that by the nature of most social platforms. People come to those platforms to learn about a concept, but end up refusing to do the actual footwork and research themselves or even just read provided material presented in the box thing (I don't know what it's called, Reddit is gay). People are lazy, so they end up getting the answers to their questions from the loudest or maybe most biased, and even the most wrong commenters instead of source material.

the box thing

It probably has an 'official' term, but I don't know what it's called either. "The box thing" works for me.

It's hard to find quality data, or rather it usually takes a lot of sifting through info-dreck to find the good nuggets.
