I can't speak on Breitbart, but as far as Infowars goes -- he makes a killing on those supplements he schleps out, and apparently there are a _lot_ of people who buy them[0]. Sure he acts like a wackjob conspiracy theory nut -- but my guess is, judging by 'former employees' cited in articles and especially by the episode of the Joe Rogan Podcast with author Jon Ronson (both know him personally), he doesn't believe most of the nonsense coming out of his mouth, but that's his character/persona niche; catering to those that would be entertained by it.
