For many years, the Literotica Axis of Weasels (4est_Trump, the Vettebigot, and Busybody) routinely spammed the General Board with shitpost copy/pastes from a site called Zerohedge. Most of the Zerohedge posting deluge came from a poster named "Tyler Durden" (the name of the protagonist in the movie Fight Club).
Well it seems there was a falling out over at Zerohedge and the site was revealed to be the brainchild of two hedge fund millionaires and a hack writer. They specialized in doom-n-gloom clickbait headlines, the kind that the Vettebigot used to link to incessantly.

[Hack writer Colin] Lokey, who said he wrote much of the site’s political content, claimed there was pressure to frame issues in a way he felt was disingenuous. “I tried to inject as much truth as I could into my posts, but there’s no room for it. “Russia=good. Obama=idiot. Bashar al-Assad=benevolent leader. John Kerry= dunce. Vladimir Putin=greatest leader in the history of statecraft,” Lokey wrote, describing his take on the website's politics. "
