If by "we," you mean conservative or alt circles, then it coddles Gen Z boys for the same reason "they" (progressive circles) coddle Gen Z girls: each side knows who its friends, soldiers, and clients are, and there's no incentive to be nice to the other side if there are far more benefits to playing to your base.

Ideally, there'd be some kind of partial audience swap because the right needs more female POVs and the left needs more male POVs. But that wouldn't be ideal for the hoarding all the views/clicks/followers.

Yes -- that is exactly what I hoped to communicate. I feel like this is less a culture war blog and more a meta-analysis of the culture war's media products blog.
