Right wing builds its own echo chamber

Axios

Conservatives are aggressively building their own apps, phones, cryptocurrencies and publishing houses in an attempt to circumvent what they see as an increasingly liberal internet and media ecosystem.

Why it matters: Many of these efforts couldn't exist without the backing of major corporate figures and billionaires who are eager to push back against things like "censorship" and "cancel culture."

It's still not clear whether demand will match supply.

Driving the news: Rumble, a conservative alternative to YouTube, agreed to go public at an implied $2.1 billion valuation via a SPAC merger.

We lost out to radio. Must we lose out to the web as well? It does take money which democratic supporters have. Otherwise in 20 years, we’ll be in the same situation with radio where all we can say is “how did that happen?”
