It’s not a strawman. I’m talking about very concrete facts.
1. There is not a single instance in the entire history of the internet of a profitable alt right social media website that anyone actually uses.
2. The price he paid was indeed so overvalued and has only dramatically dropped in value since then that they can already no longer pay their bills after just 7 weeks.
- shanebellone 4y agoYou are but it's ignoring other concrete facts. The concept of alt-right social media is ~2 years old. 1. Facebook took 5 years to become profitable. 2. Twitter took 12 years. 3. Instagram had no revenue before Facebook bought it.
- skinnymuch 4y agoGab is nearing age 6. Stormfront and chans with alt-right focus have been around longer than 2 years. Qanon began on 4chan over 5 years ago. Rumble is 9 years old at a $2B market cap with no profits in sight. Parler is over 4 years old and tried to sell itself by tricking Kanye West. Rumble and Gab should be profitable now if you brought up FB becoming profitable at 5. This is all before FB found it’s mobile ads focus and became the behemoth it is now.
