      Dude thrives on interaction.

      He shits in the punch bowl to attract attention and generates revenue by inviting people to argue as to why what he did was wrong. Some of these interactions are purely artificial. Some of them are his cult of neocon nerds swarming around him like flies around shit. But a sizeable chunk are the fucking :LIB: twitteratti who think they can win an argument with a guy whose media presence is predicated with arguing online.

    The new media and its consequences has been a disaster for the human race:

    See what happens when you make the journalist process more democratic? People pick and choose what to believe and only tell themselves what they want to believe.

      If Twitter didn't exist, Ben Shapiro would be doing this dance on the modern iteration of Meet The Press or Crossfire. We've mystified the means by which celebrity pundits promote themselves (paid promotions and bot-swarm interactions). We haven't actually shifted the content to favor "democratic journalism". If we did, Donald Trump would still have a Twitter account and Ben Shapiro would trail behind a dozen high profile QAnoners in popularity.
