Obligatory warning that taking that thought to its extreme will result in an echo chamber, which is exactly how certain other instances have become what they are now. But... yeah, it is one of the tactics of people who espouse certain beliefs to "flood the zone" leaving the other side so exhausted from pushing back against all the little lies that bit by bit, cm by cm (or inch by inch for Americans:-P), the conversation shifts to favor the side that is willing to engage in such horrid tactics to "win" arguments (by mostly avoiding arguments at all and instead just bullying those who want to truly dialogue on matters of substance into giving up all attempts to try to have them).

- this reference is to the Alt-Right Playbook series from Innuendo Studios, a fascinating and extremely well-done, quite in-depth look (yet presented very accessibly, in bite-sized chunks that you can consume while e.g. eating) at many of the tactics used by the Alt-Facts crowd (including GamerGate, Alt-Right conservatives, and tankies). A good way to start is this one: The South Bank of the Rubicon

Weird how USAID funding got cut and suddenly this guy had to shut his channel down because it wasn't making money.

I'm sure the timing is just a coincidence, I know it was because he didn't pay his taxes on the revenue from youtube from the video he made about it @1:04
