Than fruit drama.

It is the "contrarian grift" or "high-brow trolling". Basically you take high-quality prose, academic language, and seemingly rational frameworks to argue a thesis that is fundamentally absurd, deeply offensive, or aggressively wrong. The scam targets smart educated people with high intellectual vanity. Easy to run on substack where you set it up so people have to subscribe in order to leave a comment. People can't resist paying the 10 bucks just to try to refute you. AI can seriously accelerate brainstorming and generation for this type of content.

Not flame, I actually plan to try a bait Twitch stream model. The concept is "debate me about anything" and the challenger gets to choose my position. I'll have text on the screen that explains it's an intellectual exercise and lists the assigned position and opponent, so I can't get clipped and canceled. I think it's worth setting up and trying a few streams to see if it catches on. There are fun ways I could incorporate channel points and eventually donations. I'll also post each debate on YouTube; maybe I could promise to respond to any paid comment.

Not the exact same thing – I won't intentionally make bad arguments – but similarly designed to get engagement by exploiting people's argumentative impulses.

Yeah its 180 people call it nerd sniping. Your idea is better though because its live and you are female and intelligent. I'm thinking about doing it but not pure scammy stuff, more like heterodox intellectual stuff, dismantling of consensus opinions across fields but in a more aggressive prosecutorial style than you can do in academia without all the hedging etc. and avoid culturewar-adjacent material to keep from getting "cancelled". I have a few really good ones I have been sitting on to drop right away to let people know I'm cooking. Not worried about failure, because I'm unemployed right now and feel like doing it anyway. Also I'm mentally ill and getting SSI approved soon so I have nothing to lose.
