    It’s the same as with Trump. The only reason you keep seeing these articles is because of the haters who can’t stop talking about them. It’s recreational outrage, pure and simple. There’s zero “fanboys” posting articles about Elon or Tesla here. All of it is coming from the people that have the obsession to constantly feed their chronic anger by reading articles that piss them off.

      Granted, it’s much worse on Reddit, but there are plenty of fanboys around here.

      Nah, ignoring them doesn’t work past a certain point. If it did, it would have worked with Internet trolls back in the 90s.

      You don’t want to give small time versions of Musk or Trump a platform. That’s when ignoring them works. Weird ass flat earther channel with 12 subscribers? Maybe don’t post them on Xhitter as outrage porn; just let it be. Once they have a hundred thousand subscribers, though, you can no longer ignore them and hope they go away. If you try, they will yell louder.
