I think it’s always been this way, but social media has for sure exacerbated it. People really want to believe there’s some big order, some grand control, somebody in charge that all makes sense somewhere somehow.
“They” don’t want you to know because its all about power and control is weirdly a lot more palatable than “shit just happens”.
Because it’s a recognisable brand name that’s easier and more palatable to communicate than “sell videos of increasingly depraved sex acts en masse”
It’s just how it’s been normalised. Anyone who is actually interested and wants to get engaged will learn better quite quickly.
