Yeah it makes total sense. It's a fantastic way to make sure you only get the most gullible, hardcore idiots that are easy to make money off.
It's like those longer running scams. They have built in mechanisms to find the best marks, by disqualifying anyone who might not be easy to convince early.
Same here. If you cultivate a crowd of conspiracy theorists, that have a proven track record of being easily swayed not by evidence but by lack of evidence, then you got the full-day morons eating from your hand.
