I wonder if they'll sell or go down in flames.

If they sell, it'll just become overly moderated like Facebook.

If they go down in flames, a bunch of overnight competitors will compete to succeed.

Did you see the post made by Zucker? They're going to stop moderating posts, especially those made from, Right wing motherfuckers

They can moderate by boosting certain opinions and downranking others. It doesn’t need fact checkers because it’s platform owner interests and not facts that matter.

The US is a tiny market compared to the rest of users, why would they ever sell?
