    I don't know if this can be explained by chuds. The chud reaction would have been to buy the books and then start a twitter trend of burning them. This seems like it's the case because tons of people have been talking about Seuss so some of them will have realized that they don't own any of the books and gone out and bought them.

    Conspiracy: the outrage about removing some of the books from circulation was started by the company itself in order to spur sales.

      It's not much of a conspiracy. Outrage marketing is usually behind most "cancel culture" headlines
