This says a lot about a person. I've met quite a few off these types. On one level, people like that lack the smarts and imagination to come up with topics of any real meaning or hold discussions of any real depth, but the want to! Small minded people love drama for drama's sake because the consider that exciting and they know they will make money by talking about (usually mocking and denigrating) other people.

The superficial mind has found that it's easier to make money online by enraging and inflaming other people's emotions than it is to come up with a helpful and intelligent topic for genuine discussion, (and the serious grifters will pretend that their small mindedness is being helpful.)

In other words, they're not very bright people, but they've seen and heard about intelligent discussions and their platforms are usually a dump person's idea of how smart people look and sound. They admire intelligence and want to be taken seriously but either lack depth of character or are not approaching these topics from a place of learning and growth.

There are some women out there doing this too, but they're rather rare.

And in case you didn't know there's an entire industry devoted to dragging white women. There white men out there making a helluva lot of money off of it, and Im not sure but I suspect a lot of Black men used that as a template for their own platforms.
