But the reality is that they're not martyrs. They're unable to receive money from paypal or companies like that, and they've been relegated to 8chan and Gab. Lots of data to prove that their reach dramatically shrinks.https://mashable.com/article/milo-yiannopoulos-deplatforming-alex-jones/ …

For now... but if you deplatform enough of them and tick off their combined audiences...?

Then they have to make their own platform. And they won’t/can’t.

They haven’t had a need to until recently. How can you be so sure they won’t/can’t?

I guess they could, but their power is in mainstreaming themselves, not being stuck in their own echo chamber. If they were smarter, they’d just play by the platform’s rules to keep the audience they want. Don’t know Rubin.

It sounds like you see “mainstream” and “echo chamber” as mutually exclusive categories? Wouldn’t you consider cable news a class of echo chamber? Do we legit have pundits from any one of them routinely engaging one another, or any well-rep. counter argument in good faith?
