A growing network of online communities known collectively as the “manosphere” is emerging as a serious threat to gender equality, as toxic digital spaces increasingly influence real-world attitudes, behaviours, and policies, the UN agency dedicated to ending gender discrimination has warned.

Is there even an incentive for solving men's problems?

Uh, yes? Obviously. If there wasn't then "manosphere" content would never be monetized.

Mate, what many of those so-called gururs of "manosphere" do is called capitalising on misery of others, not solving. Which I have already covered in my comment above.

Don't think for a second that I'm approving of Andrew Tate types lol. I'm just saying if there wasn't incentive then they wouldn't be able to profit off of it. Maybe we're using different definitions of incentive. Or maybe you mean to actually make a true working long term fix for men as opposed to just content that monetizes off of it.
