You can literally make your own twitter any time you want. My charitable view is that people are actually complaining about a monopoly on attention. It's an interesting subject but doesn't have anything to do with speech.

Until your upstream network provider decides to drop you (this happened to Epik, temporarily killing the whole company until they dropped 8chan). But of course you could also make your own backbone ISP.

Yes, if you're doing that, you should expect that some businesses may choose to reconsider their relationship with you. It's not a problem even most garden variety racist assholes on the internet are likely to have, though. Also, 8chan is doing fine.
