Yes, you're right, there is a huge opportunity here, and if lightning struck it could be used to build even greater things, but it gets stymied from both ends. Even ignoring the inevitable attacks from the financial and media sectors, there are no wealthy sponsors on the elite side, and there's a not-insignificant percentage of our guys who yell "grifter" at anyone who tries to make so much as a penny trying to cater to us. There's no current incentive for a creative to produce right-wing content. Might as well play Russian roulette with a mag fed pistol. It's definitely worth trying to find a solution to these problems, however.

@BobsonDugnuttHB @BunnygirlAbductor we’re never going to get a sponsor. And we’re never going to silence the people who yell grifter. We simply have to sell people stuff and be ‘unscrupulous’ about it. We have to be capitalist gang and make money off da moobment. The infrastructure is the hardest part, because we have to be able to put a check in someone’s mailbox forever. No one will quit their job if they think they’re going to be permanently out of income after a couple years because the platform collapsed and they’re doxed. If they have to live off $2000/month, I bet more people would be okay with that than you think, but they would have to be sure that they would get a check each month without fail, as long as they produced. That means proving demand is there, professionalism in the quality of the product, the ability to keep people on payroll, and finally the ability to receive money from our customers. Honestly, we would have to develop our own platform. Either based on cash or crypto. We would probably need a crypto platform that a 95IQ could use, and would, also, exist forever. It’d have to be an unassailable link in the chain, probably based on XMR. We also may have to eat losses for the purpose of security. The hope is, there’s a huge market out there, and people would pay for something, and we could set up a marketplace to use the money to make it more resilient. My hope is we could professionalize artists into full-time dissident artists, put a lot of money in our pocket that could be used for other stuff, and build the infrastructure that other people could use, and it would be INSANELY profitable.

Murdoch Murdoch seems to have done a good job Stonetoss, Foxford, Jinjerzilla, there are other creators there doesn’t appear to be any serious actual big break into film, music, or publishing yet; most of the problem is that the gates are well and truly kept on most such channels, but that control is eroding as we speak

I think someone would have to do like Evan Royalty did on YT with his short films. He raised almost $500k for a feature-length film but had to cancel because the venue he wanted to shoot in was leased before he had raised enough money.

@BunnygirlAbductor @BobsonDugnuttHB @2a615c74 $500k is shoestring for a real film, and you see why. We would need $10mil for a real film, and advertising, and distribution. That’s all infrastructure we have to build up. Frankly, we need someone who could extend credit to these businesses, and be paid back, so they could lend out more, and we could build a real industry. In a lot of ways, this is what we need. And we could get it. Look at how much that stupid Red Alert podcast gets paid. Serious fortunes could come out of this crowd, if it was run professionally.

@BunnygirlAbductor @BobsonDugnuttHB @2a615c74 I think one of them is jewish. The dr for ya. It goes to show that we need to take that kind of money for ourselves. We need the infrastructure to support each other. We need the money flowing through it to do stuff and build it up. It’ll probably require some young radicals with technical skill, talent, a willingness to work hard, and make very little money at the start, but I’m sure it’ll pay off. A profitable and marketed zine would be a good start.
