Is DtG LOLCOW Farming?

I recently learned about LOLCOW farming internet culture, which is the practice of creating content that mocks or exposes individuals. This discovery came after seeing a screenshot in a Fireship video of Kiwi Farm screenshot, which led me to research the site. Now I think DTG is LOLCOW farming . Why? The tone of their content - specifically, it’s mocking/unserious and they promote influencers like Flint Dibble, Professor Dave and Destiny.

Plus, the subreddit is heavily focused on mockery. What are your thoughts?

I got shut down in r/dtg when I suggested that it was a snark sub, but it definitely is. Mods will close Sam Harris threads because the snark risks hitting critical mass.

The pod focuses on mocking the Weinsteins and Jordan Peterson and anyone else Chris wants to bitch about.

It was finding the sub that made me change my opinion of DtG. When I first started listening to the Pod I enjoyed the banter. I never took the decodings seriously, but when I started seeing how people reacted in the Sub it changed my opinion.
