It is the "contrarian grift" or "high-brow trolling". Basically you take high-quality prose, academic language, and seemingly rational frameworks to argue a thesis that is fundamentally absurd, deeply offensive, or aggressively wrong. The scam targets smart educated people with high intellectual vanity. Easy to run on substack where you set it up so people have to subscribe in order to leave a comment. People can't resist paying the 10 bucks just to try to refute you. AI can seriously accelerate brainstorming and generation for this type of content. |

I'll have text on the screen that explains it's an intellectual exercise and lists the assigned position and opponent, so I can't get clipped and canceled. I think it's worth setting up and trying a few streams to see if it catches on. There are fun ways I could incorporate channel points and eventually donations. I'll also post each debate on YouTube; maybe I could promise to respond to any paid comment.
Not the exact same thing – I won't intentionally make bad arguments – but similarly designed to get engagement by exploiting people's argumentative impulses. |
