If you want to make a quick, but cynical buck, start on Facebook.

My Facebook feed was full of pins, shirts, mugs, and posters of Ruth Bader Ginsberg with a tacky Notorious B.I.G. crown on her head for weeks after her death. Sometimes they’d even say “Rest In Power” whatever that means.

They must have been selling like hot cakes.

Same was happening on Twitter for quite a while with 2 bots chatting to each other on every popular thread about Trump: "just drinking from this <mug with "leftist tears">", "OMG, where did you get that", "<link to shop>".

I expect they made lots of money there if they outsourced to print on demand.

These are breadcrumbs, the money are in the big time items you affiliate for.

During the Ron Paul craze I had some Gold adverts printing money.
