In court documents his side filed, he said he only ended up making $3000 from the self-publishing of his book (this might be on top of the $80,000 he was able to keep from his advance).
To make millions, he would have had to sell like 350,000 copies at the price he had it which he didn't.
I can't think of a single example in the last 5 years of someone rising and falling so fast. Dude came in like a whirlwind and then lost it all in like 2 weeks.
It used to mean something! We modded fucking /u/xnotch and became the richest (on average) mod team on the fucking site! Now look at us, we're selling mod positions to people who people who quote 90's cartoons! The hell happened here?
I never understood how anyone liked Milo, even if you're an anti-SJW he wasn't someone I'd want want debating SJWs because the man is a complete moron.
Because he was kinda funny, especially when he was riling up deeply stupid people.
And remember that back when GamerGate was relevant, Carl Benjamin was one of the more intellectually heavyweight guys in the anti-SJW content creators, so the audience couldn't exactly be choosers.
Pissing off college kids is one of the easiest things you can do ever though. They're children who think they're adults so they take everything super seriously but lack the thick skin of experience.
He's a political idiot and the obviousness of his trolling was half of why it was so funny when college administrations and journalists (not just the dumb students) would flip out and fall for the bait.
There's a reason it stopped being funny when Milo started thinking he was actually some kind of political mastermind (or rather when it became apparent he had thought that the whole time).
Oh, I guess finding clowns like Milo funny makes me an idiot according to some random guy online. You seem like a really warm and articulate individual with good points.
he wasn't someone I'd want want debating SJWs because the man is a complete moron.
Well considering his opponents at the time, you may be more than slightly over estimating their combined mental acuity. It's like that old saying “You don’t have to run faster than the bear to get away. You just have to run faster than the guy next to you.”
That's what he does, he's a slightly less charismatic and slightly more literary talented version of L. Ron Hubbard. The guy has (had?) business partners from at least two other scams from before MAGALand after him and you can bet he's going to come back like a cockroach with some new scheme to make money.
This entire section is the most poorly thought out section of the book. If you want to make a case for gay men going back in the closet and marrying women just to have children you're going to have to employ a lot more intellectual rigor than you use here.
Forget the book, just publish the editors notes with no context.
When you are a real life troll, you have to keep up with appearances.
Atleast in the internet, you could troll without repercussions and just go on living your mundane life.
But an attention craving real life troll needs a constant stream of attention to make themselves relevant. Without that external (in)validation, their existence is worthless to the marketplace. This guy got famous because of his propensity to offend liberals and getting a response out of them. That shitck worked for a few years until that pedophilic comment. No one, not even the radical of the far right would want to associate with a guy who made such a blatant comment like that.
Now, because of this, he lost all that oomph factor. He can try and say the wacky shit all he want and many liberals wouldn't give him the time of his life by responding to him and making him relevant.
It doesn't matter now what he does now. Left won't give a shit because he is a pedo. Right won't give a shit because he is no longer offending liberals, and they are sure as hell not going to support a token gay guy anyway if he couldn't help them fight the culture wars.
Besides Trump has basically taken away the effectiveness of professional trolls like this guy, Ann coulter, etc
Yeah probably - there likely would be a way for him to go super edgelord with tha tnew angle, but it doesn't look like that's where he wants to go: in fact from all I've seen he's rather been backtracking from that, so that didn't win enough of his old crowd back and didn't gain him any new crowds either.
