*Conservatives build alternate digital universe*

Over the past six months, apps catered to conservatives have hit new
milestones, although they are starting to lose some of the traction they
gained in the month following the aftermath of the Capitol siege.

I would have expected "catering *to*". This seems to assume a sense like
"produce and deliver".

As well, "following" is redundant with "aftermath".
