    Usually the ones I see are clearly fishing for vulnerable people; a practise they put a huge amount of time, money and effort into.

    They’re active in conspiracy groups because it’s a good place to find unmedicated schizophrenics.

    They’re active in gaming groups because it’s a good place to find lonely, disaffected young men.

    They’re active in anti-vax groups because they’re a good place to find uneducated, paranoid people.

    They’re active in fundamentalist circles because it’s a good place to find bigots.

    I’ve found that going anywhere near any of those topics will cause the algorithm to start baiting its hook.
