Briefly

I watched the manosphere documentary; here is how design is making things worse.
"I deliberately say offensive things because that's what gets attention and money. Algorithms reward controversy - I'm a salesman."
"While the algorithm is the creators' source of fame and money, it also quickly becomes a 'golden cage'."
The manosphere consists of online communities primarily frequented by young men, promoting misogynistic and anti-feminist ideologies. These communities attract members with promises of wealth and success, often utilizing 'red-pill' rhetoric. The creators rely on social media algorithms that favor shocking content, leading to a cycle of content generation for views and revenue. This environment influences young audiences, some as young as 13, who internalize extreme views and alter their real-life behavior accordingly.
