In a sense yeah, but in another sense, if the GOP goes Groyper they'll appeal to about 2% of the electorate.
The actual existing constituency for groyperism is Republican staffers and Twitter accounts.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
