"You may never have seen it yourself, but there's a dark part of the internet,
lurking closer than you think.
It's an online world where men reign supreme. They are fit and powerful, rich
and muscular.
They welcome confused, angry men and boys, promising them wealth, status and
success with women.
This is the manosphere. I was among the first to start researching it more than
a decade ago.
Since then, I've watched it grow and become mainstream, luring boys as young as
12 into its web of toxic masculinity.
We set up ten fake 16 and 18-year old male accounts on TikTok and YouTube to
show how the algorithm recommends videos that suck boys into a world they were
never looking for.
Here's how it happens."
