@C-Mex said in New "Mission" of RPF:
The thing that doesn't make any sense is why he would alienate a good part of his existing membership and existing or potential customers with the hair-trigger banning and hostile rhetoric about Ray"s work. Last I looked, online readers were on the decline.
I think it's motivated by narcissism, not just greed. Despite running the #1 Peat online forum Charlie was never particularly well-known or respected in the community. He has never established direct communication with Peat like Danny Roddy or even some fairly obscure Youtubers. Even on his own site he was overshadowed by Haidut and several other popular posters.
So, being rejected by "Peat world" he has rejected it in turn and instead adopted a new framework that puts him on top by default. Many insecure (in a physical and not purely psychological sense) leaders use this sudden switch tactic to purge the opposition. Of course, it has not been particularly effective, but we are talking about a guy who thinks BRICS countries are going to destroy the US dollar in a month or so; I wouldn't expect him to have a good grasp of practical politics.
