For the nazis, a big problem is the alt-right pipeline that plagues sites like Youtube, along with an unstable political climate, which generally causes radicalization (Weimer Germany is also a very good example of this phemona)
As for incels, a big problem is admittably a mental health crisis plauging many men, generally causing them to become resentful of women out of loneliness.
TLDR: Poor mental health and instability
Yeah the Internet is full of traps that are engineered to draw men in. There's blood on Google's hands for just letting that happen. (And probably other companies too, but YouTube is big)
Related note: unchecked capitalism makes everything worse. Trying to get dates and the apps are just like "pay us $5 and maybe we'll show your profile to someone. Be a shame if your beautiful profile just never showed up for anyone."
Ahhh, your almost there at realizing that capitalism commodified dating and is basically predatory against single men.
unchecked capitalism makes everything worse.
Both in the context of this discussion and in society in general.
The latter is aided by the same things as the former. Too many youtubers condition young men to think that women are the problem and the fact that they don't take care of themselves or socialize with others doesn't matter and it's really the fault of everyone else. I used to online game with a couple of these guys who weren't too bad until recently. They were both basically shut-ins who still somehow held strong beliefs about the outside world and why things are the way they are even though they didn't really participate with the outside world.
YouTube but also porn. As it's much less regulated in terms of tone and content, you get a lot of casual racism, misogyny and similar just thrown into the videos of pene and vagene
