Gab CEO Blames Trump’s Vax “Shilling” For Traffic Woes

The Washington Post reports:

A Washington Post analysis of audience data for 47 prominent right-wing influencers who flocked last year to alternative social networks Gab and Gettr, the video-streaming site Rumble and the chat service Telegram found that their followings surged immediately after President Donald Trump was banned on the mainstream sites.

But those audiences have barely grown in the year since. In some cases, they even declined.

Gab’s chief, Andrew Torba, said the findings are “irrelevant to Gab’s growth overall as a free speech platform for all people.” Pro-Trump commentators, he added, might be struggling on the alternative platforms because of Trump’s defense of the coronavirus vaccine. “His nonstop vaccine shilling has turned many of his supporters off completely,” Torba said.

Torba, who says Jewish groups have “demonic energy,” last appeared on JMG in October when he went on an anti-Semitic rampage on Twitter, presumably to get himself banned and then claim martyr status.

Torba has declared that he would only grant interviews to Christian outlets and that “pagan” reporters shouldn’t bother. Yet here he is speaking with the Washington Post.
