How did the internet get to the point where it's either far left or 'whacked' to be the only voices allowed?

The more insane = The more views

Views = Money

Money can be used to buy more insane people who control what is allowed to be viewed.

The average idiot believes whatever they're told, so the more crazy things they're told, the crazier they become.

What was originally a method to generate clicks and views for money has become a method for controlling and scaring large groups of idiots. Add voting and politics into the mix and you slowly get a generation of morons looking for morons to lead them.

The end of 4chan was the start of it all. The moment the higher ups realized that websites can be easily controlled the end of the road became this.

Unless some super-techno-thing is created to allow transfer of data anonymously in an easy to use format like reddit or twitter, without moderator control, things are going to continue to get worse.

Anybody else remember back in the old days when reddit and twitter didn't moderate what was "Trending"? Yeah. We will never get that utopia back if moderators are in charge. I've heard that maybe the answer is to have randomized mods where one day you suddenly gain mod privileges for the next 48 hours, then somebody else does, and so on.The danger with that is if it's rigged to appear random, or that the privileges granted can be instantly overruled by a secret moderator class above it that nobody knows about.

What will happen is the left that kisses to China (which owns the majority of the web and beyond) will hire these 'moderators' so all the 'random' mods will be ultra left or ultra left pretending to be right to crash that party.

At the end of the day, there's nothing currently capable of providing a solution to the problem. Any website can be shut down with ease. Any server created can be found and disabled.
