When hate becomes a business: The monetization of antisemitism
Fox News host Mark Levin explains what makes America different than other countries on 'Life, Liberty & Levin.'
Antisemitism has always adapted to its surroundings. Today, it has adapted to the digital economy.
What once circulated through fringe pamphlets or isolated gatherings now thrives online, in an environment where outrage is rewarded, provocation is amplified and attention can be monetized. Antisemitism is no longer just spreading. In many cases, it is being incentivized.
In the modern attention economy, clicks equal currency. Algorithms are designed to reward engagement, not accuracy or morality. Content that shocks or enrages travels farther and faster, and antisemitic material, unfortunately, performs well in that system. The result is not only broader exposure to hate, but a set of financial incentives that sustain and accelerate it.
