    People do, but advertisers don't. It doesn't help that these "anything goes" platforms pretty much devolve into right-wing themed racist gathering points at best, or a den of scams and prosecutorially interesting media.

      I’m sure the FBI has made fantastic use of Gab, VOAT, etc.

    I think it’s also that such a service would be wildly unprofitable. Almost nobody wants to advertise over ISIS beheadings. LiveLeak existed, but eventually shut down due to not being profitable.

I can only imagine how 'free' and 'uncensored' it will be. I bet it's gonna host everything from ISIS beheadings all the way to porn or straight-up conspiracies to overturn the US gorvernment, but nothing bad about the great leader Kim Old Musk and his endeavors.
