What does it tell us about the web that two websites that appear so different converge on the same business model? I guess it's hard to make money on the web.

- Andrex 3y agoSome kind of capitalistic horseshoe theory maybe? "Seeking max profits always leads to the same point, regardless of where you start."
- mrguyorama 3y agoMore like "grifters and their marks have no diversity" in that, neither Alex Jones nor Goop are selling unregulated products for political reasons. They have cultivated an extremely motivated, more money than sense, gullible audience willing to eat up ANY nonsense you spout, no matter how self contradictory or evidently wrong to even the minimum of critical thinking, and are simply mining that self organizing gullible audience for profit. Goop and Infowars are the same product, just in a different box.
