    Lol I can just imagine them sitting in some dystopian marketing brand meeting analysing target demographics… “It seems one of the biggest growing demographics is young Nazis who now call themselves “alt-right”, so Jenny, any ideas on how we can tailor our content to appeal to even more Nazis, while also not upsetting our main demographic of centrist customers who prefer to ignore all politics?”

      This is pretty much what already happens, with the main difference that the target group would have a codename or a number. Algorithms don’t care.
