When someone/something gets associated with Parler, 4chan or Gab, it loses a lot of legitimacy with the mainstream. That's why conservatives are fighting to not be relegated to such corners of the internet, but instead allow to eat off the legitimacy and reach of mainstream platforms like TikTok and Youtube.
- selfhoster11 5y agoWhy would anyone consider Tiktok or YouTube to be legitimate or illegitimate in any measure? They are literally just places where all kinds of people upload all kinds of content. That the platform carries a certain video, doesn't mean it has some stamp of approval.
- x86_64Ubuntu 5y agoBecause they are well known platforms that plenty of media personalities have careers on. When a person sees that a podcast is hosted on www.1776GeneralLeeDidNothingWrong.com, they are going to automatically turn up their noses and walk away. Youtube and TikTok don't incur such baggage. There is a reason that conservative personalities screech everytime they are given the boot from these platforms.
