I think it’s more that these people see this as another way to reach their intended “audience” so it’s not so much that he wants them to be affected in any way by the content of what hes saying, but more “pay attention to me! I’m saying the things you want to hear! (Give me money!)”

Yeah, but so many of those pieces of shit are just grifting assholes. I could totally see him knowing what he’s saying and laughing about it to himself as he continues to get rich off of dumb fucks
