Keep telling yourself that.

Parler has grown faster from a standing start only recently than Twitter ever did.

All it would take is for Trump to move his account to Twitter with his over 80 million followers and Parler will be off like a rocket.

As it is Parler gas been growing fast anyways.

They are far better the Twitter.

Parler has had stagnant growth for over a month. With the election, they should be exploding right now. That said, there are two pretty big developments nobody is talking about.

1. Parler FINALLY listened to complaints and opened up a little. You can read (at least some) Parler content without signing up for an account and providing personal information. So, if someone post a link to a post on Parler, anyone can see it. But I don't see anyone posting Parler links...

2. Team Trump (Trump campaign) is on Parler, apparently with about 1.4 million followers. @TeamTrump on Parler

They experienced high growth a few months back when some high profile conservatives were suspended from Twitter and people like Don Jnr and Bongino opened an account there. Their growth has slowed somewhat since.
I dont know that new accounts will necessarily be opened at a faster rate just because of the elections. Neither presidential candidate is on it.
All it will take is for the big boss to switch his account to Parler. He is not going to do that now, but he may very well open an count on Parler in his second term.
The only thing Twitter has going for them is the high user base with most of Hollywood and the media there. There really isn't anything special about their interface, software, response times etc.
And their market cap is tiny as compared to big tech companies like MSFT GOOG AAPL & FB. Their profits are nothing to write home about and their sales and profits went down during the pandemic lockdowns even as MSFT AAPL etc continued to rock.
