Bongino is on Parler and owns shares in Parler.

Bongino has shares in Rumble, an upstart video platform. He doesn't own anything in Parler.

Nothing wrong with using your opponent's platform to grab business for yourself.

Actually, there is something wrong with it. It means your own platform sucks so you still have to suck off the teat of the guys you want to knock off. Look, I hate Jack Dorsey, the guy's a total douchebag, but Twitter revolutionized online communication and is one of the greatest communication inventions since the printing press. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

TV networks do that all the time.

Where? No TV networks do cross-advertising unless it's for playoff sports. They might cite other networks for a story, but they don't do what you are citing.

Nope. It means you are using other platforms to make people aware that there is a better alternative.

It means your own platform sucks so you still have to suck off the teat of the guys you want to knock off.

Um, no.
For example you see promotions on YouTube all the time trashing YouTube censorship of conservatives or whoever and encouraging people to use the direct web sites to watch a video instead of watching it on YouTube.
Nothing wrong with that. It would be stupid not to.

and is one of the greatest communication inventions since the printing press. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Joke post?
Twitter didn't “revolutionize” sh*t.
I am not on Twitter and I communicate just fine. Twitter has 175 million users. The world has a population of close to 8 billion.
There are tens of thousands of apps people use to communicate on the internet.
WeChat has 1.2 billion users. Tik Tok has over 800 million users.
Twitter? Don't make me laugh.

TV networks regularly advertise on each others networks to promote major programs. Its money in the bank.
They have been doing it for decades.
