More chatter doesn't mean more people. This is something that needs to be stated if we're going to actually understand the social dynamics at play here. And the fact that more people use a certain word doesn't mean they're part of the alt-right. In fact, I've seen the word cuck used by leftists to mock alt-right provocateurs like Chris Cantwell as of late. So, I think the analysis needs to refine its approach.

Agreed, the reddit subs that this looked at are famous for being filled to the brim with bots that repeat the types of comments that this looked at. I would not be surprised if they ended up analyzing more bot comments than real users.

That is actually mentioned in the article, that people use it now (cuck) to mock the alt right members
