So basically he was deplatformed yet again by Big Tech -- this time by Google when they killed Reader in 2013?

I don’t understand this. He’s got a massive audience. How hard is it to build a Twitter clone where he can blast his messages to all his followers?

I guess he learned how tough it is to get people to read your blog...

I kept hearing about this blog he started, but had absolutely no idea where it lived. I think I once tried to Google it, but the results were all news articles about the blog and I didn’t care to try to look any further.

Trump realizing what the rest of the blogosphere figured out a decade ago. The audience has been surrendered to Twitter and FB, and they aren't coming back.

Is it too snarky to suggest his fans don&#x27;t read?<p>They can, but they&#x27;re just not interested<p>I&#x27;d guess same is true of fans of every politician<p>Just moreso with trump<p>The medium is the message<p>You can&#x27;t reproduce the hatred and clown show asthetic with long blobs of text<p>You need tv<p>Twitter<p>Anything inherently devoid of the possibility of meaningful conversation, thinking, thoughtfulness, etc.

Does he know you can hide the number of likes now?

Maybe his readership was impaired by a paywall

That&#x27;s a shame.

I absolutely detest Trump and fully supported his removal from any and all platforms run by private companies much earlier than it happened, HOWEVER this is yet another indicator that our world runs through monopolies.<p>They&#x27;re holding back everything, including shareholders. Break. Them. Up.
