Mods deleted my post on r/Destiny, now I’m wondering who Destiny really is

Don’t know if this is the right place to share, but let me try. r/Destiny has deleted my post, and I guess I know why (https://www.reddit.com/r/Destiny/s/kjQwrihZLJ), now looking for your opinion. Let me try to explain the full backstory so you understand the context and my theory. I’ll attach screenshots as proof, as well as the post body as text so you can follow the links.

I’m not a fan of Destiny in general. I don’t like his debating style or his attitude toward opponents. However, like many others, I was hooked by his "Sziso Arc" stream, where he brought up the Internet Dead Theory, Egon Cholakian, and the Allatra cult. It was chilling and gave me an adrenaline rush to follow the subject. But over time, I started noticing that there was too much attention on this topic, and it felt overhyped, so I quietly dropped it.

But recently, a new wave started with a Nexpo episode. Nexpo covered a fresh event related to Allatra’s recent activity and interviewed a guy with a very shady background. There was a post in r/Nexpo that led me to a video response from the Allatra team, and they raised some interesting points about the upcoming elections. I decided to repost it to r/Destiny with my reflections. Below is the post I made:

Title: Was the Allatra rabbit hole engineered for political purposes?

The first video digs into the Allatra/Egon side of the recent Nexpo rabbit hole (posted on Nexpo, apparently by an Allatra guy: https://www.reddit.com/r/NExpo/comments/1vj8vd9/nexpos\_deepest\_rabbit\_hole\_dropped\_right\_as/).

This one is from Ryan McBeth, an intel guy I’ve followed for a long time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x\_crFFBfnJo&t=63s). He breaks down how bot farms, inauthentic accounts, and AI-generated content are used to amplify stories and direct outrage. His point is that this kind of “dead internet” activity isn’t unique, any side or interested actor can spin up these tools and point the hatred wherever it benefits them. Looking at Allatra through that lens, not everything feels clean or organic.
End.

With my post in r/Destiny, I tried to bring an interesting angle and also referenced an intel expert’s video to show that bot accounts are a common thing nowadays and are weaponized by different players. The Allatra team highlights that the current smearing campaign is unfolding before the elections. They claim to recognize this pattern, as they’ve experienced it many times in different countries, where outlets associate them with politicians to impact ratings and defame politicians being part of cult or sect. They say they’ve learned this strategy the hard way in Russia, and it’s a standard FSB tactic. Nexpo has directly linked them with MAGA and the Trump administration. The allatra guys warns that bloggers should think twice and be careful about who they take money from, because it could be connected to FSB funding. It’s not something wild, considering Tenet Media example.

I started analyzing why my post was shut down. They called me a bot, ok, maybe paranoid or normal behaviour for them, but allatra posts, common, they post 24x7 about it, and all are fine. But here’s the most important thing: In allatra video, guys indirectly alleged that Destiny might have received FSB funding, as he was the first who started this hype. I think this might have triggered everything, and Destiny Mods got scared.

Why do I think FSB involvement isn’t impossible? I double-checked the timing of his stream, and it was pretty close to the presidential elections, just a few days after the assassination attempt. Although Destiny didn’t directly mix Egon with MAGA, all the fake accounts he brought up during the stream were pro-MAGA, which indirectly creates an association. Despite this, he created a very catchy story about Egon being AI-generated, which is a perfect way to discredit him. The only beneficiary of this is Russia, a country that first banned the organization.

Also, after rewatching the stream many times, it gives the feeling of being staged. I mean, I’ve never streamed myself, but for him, surprisingly, every piece of new information magically came at the right time and in the right place. He was picking up only the right links from the chat every time. Next, almost all the statements and analyses he made were debunked over time, even in his own subreddit, and Egon turned out to be a real person. The last arguments I see against Egon are credentials and the high facial alignment of the female astronaut between the 2 photos (which Destiny also surprisingly noticed during the stream). But I guess that can also be answered with reasonable arguments.

Now, my question to you: I don’t know this person beyond his famous stream and a few videos. In your opinion, could he have taken money from the FSB or someone else to push a specific agenda? Is he that kind of person? To me, many things seem staged now, and after my own experience with his sub, I have a feeling he's pretending to be someone he’s not. I’d value any of your comments.
