Conservatives are going to need to replicate the entire ecosystem: short-form, long-form (blogging), video (for vlogging), crowdfunding, etc.

This is true, but we may need a number of multi-millionaire investors to back the initially low-revenue platforms. Might be a great post-Presidency project for the Trump Companies. :)

It’s too late for the alternate platform route. Conservatives should have been thinking about this a decade ago.

All that can be done is to swallow hard, put your free market nervous nellieism in the closet, and start swinging the big Antitrust hammer.

Failure to do this will mean GAME OVER within just a few short years.
