Can you red pill on what the real deal was with this whole debacle that everyone forgot about?

Basically a guy in America got super invested in this story of this warlord and the child soldiers he would use. The thing is though it was old news, by the time this guy had reported it and started making a huge deal about it with his youtube video, it was pretty much already dealt with. This kony guy wasn't even around any more apparently.
So in summary this guy made a little video about child soldiers, it got super fucking viral, its necessity and fact checking was brought into question and then the guy who made the video utterly lost his shit and had a nervous breakdown in public naked.

Thanks for the summary. Do you think there was any foul play with this campaign being used to obfuscate events or sway public opinion since it was an election year? I was always curious if there was more to the story in that respect as well

the real deal is they used propaganda to make money and it worked, THEY don't care if this guy eats babies for breakfast, they only care about profits and look like the good guys.
ps: joseph kony might not be a real person, he never happened.

To me, it seems pretty clear it was a CIA psychological operation. The video came out of nowhere, had millions of views, mentioned on all major outlets, even during NBC Nightly "News".
Then a week or two later, the creator is found in downtown LA naked and on drugs. I heard the organisation, Invisible Children, received millions in anonymous donations a year before the video was released.
It was a dry run to get the people behind supporting military operations in a far away land and testing manipulation of the public through social media. In the case of Joseph Kony, he hasn't been a threat since the 1990s. He's probably dead right now anyway.
