One reason conservatives shy away from building social media platforms (or media platforms in general) is that they simply are not good business ventures. This gets magnified in almost any high-tech industry. Facebook is allegedly worth a bazillion dollars, but has never paid even a penny in dividends. Same goes for Amazon. And Uber just had an IPO a couple of weeks ago where the prospectus for new investors openly admitted -- get this -- that the company might never be profitable.

A "conservative" media platform might be a flop, but one with minimal censorship -- and ZERO political censorship -- would likely be a success.

True. By nature, conservative business ventures are built on ROI, not “fairness “, “giving a voice to the community”, or similar emotional claptrap. Most social media has succeeded in ways never envisioned by the founders.

It would be interesting to find out where the cash flows of these social media platforms are coming from, and who may be pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
