Trump needs to buy a platform. Some exist but he needs something to put his name on so it gets huge hits.
These communists that control Twitter, Youtube, etc., are ridiculous.
Ignoring the enormous initial capital outlay for such a purchase, in this political climate, the revenue model doesn’t exist for a ‘conservative’ platform.
Creators need compensation. From what revenue stream will those creators be paid considering the lack of appetite from businesses to advertise on such a platform? There’s a reason Fox News is dominated by gold, reverse-mortgage and pillow advertisements whereas CNN enjoys all the blue-chip companies from IBM to Ford and Mercedes and everything in between. That reason is organizations like Media Matters have successfully blackballed companies like Fox. FNC would have gone out of business years ago if it were not for the cable retransmission fees it collects. It’s that revenue stream that pays the bills, not the ads.
Without competent creators creating engaging and entertaining content, a streaming platform isn’t even a going concern much less a profitable business. Keep in mind, YouTube was losing hundreds of millions a year when Google bought it and hundreds of millions more before it became the cash-cow it is today. That takes hugely deep pockets.
