Alexander the great said
>"if i weren't me, i would want to be Diogenes"
That's what you realize when you're at the top; that it is better to be a nobody and be free do to whatever you please without having to be shackled by other people or have your existence held hostage by the whims of others and social status.
Diogenes wasn't the peak example of purity, manliness or other virtues, but he was simply as true to oneself as one can be.

Imagine, Alexander the great envying some hobo in a barrel who just fucked with people for the fun of it.

Yes, i don't doubt the math, but this isn't a discussion about the actual specific money, but rather what is really behind it all.

>sex sells, stop seething it's not a conspiracy and stop asking questions or you're a crab
Calling me a seething crab won't make me one.
If i was a crab, i wouldn't even openly talk about this stuff here out of all places.
If i really wanted to make someone fail, i'd seed memes and start rumors in places where most gullible normies are, even going as far as falsifying information without giving anyone the possibility to argue against me or discussing anything.
I'd just call anyone names and buzzwords to imply their intentions, emotional state and to try and discredit them.

Let's say that whatever i said, turns out to be completely true and even worse than what i even tried talking about, what then?
Will i be right or will people pretend this discussion never existed?

I already answered to those other points you made, and you're not wrong or far from reality for that matter >>6478279
>"in such high numbers is kind of hard to make sense of."

Big companies cheat.
Celebrities cheat.
People kickstart their careers through dishonest means.
This should never be considered normal, because you create a place where dishonesty is rewarded and enabled by not talking about it.
Take it with art; if cheating is ok, what stops anyone to steal, trace, plagiarize if they can justify it up with high numbers?

It becomes even more suspect when even a casual discussion about the possibility of cheating is interjected and semi-censored to a point where it becomes impossible to say anything negative about anyone or anything.
This begs the question of what kind of people would have interest in something being discredited and not talked about.

I could very well just call anyone who doesn't agree with me, a cheating, tracing criminal who is mad about his crimes being openly talked about, but it would be extremely dishonest to do that.
