In the short term maybe, in the long term? I think most people choose their platforms over their people. No matter how exciting someone is, I'm 10x more likely to just find someone else on youtube than move to rumble. And if most people start on youtube rather than rumble you're not getting into the algorithmic feed. Not to mention the fact that the like fifteen minutes of fame thing I imagine is real. You can only put your attention so many places, you think Alex Jones or Nick Fuentes are making continued, sustained growth just by virtue of one moment quickly fading into the past where they were banned?

Maybe it's sad, but I suspect censorship works more than we want to admit.
