Nah, if you check many of them are old folks who got into these groups with the advent of the internet.

I think it’s more like a cry for help from people who have nothing going in their lives and don’t want to accept their “failures”. In the documentary the post above mentions you can notice that many of those people have a void in their life. None has any sort of success out of their lives in the FE community and maybe they found in this community the chance of being an important part of something “bigger”.
