GA had 70k+ when it was shut down, which included tons of gawkers and bots.
After the "Kek Trek" to Voat, both GA-inheritor subs combined had 7k subscribed (assuming zero overlap).
So hundreds of thousands of Patriots, but Reddit fiendishly conspired to hide their subscriptions, and then only a few percent were willing to register on a new platform?
Nah, those who lean to the right tend to be attracted to conspiracy theories as they have an innate paranoia regarding the government and large, concentrations of power.
The left tends to be paranoid of corporations and that influence on us as capitalists.
Neither is wrong. Point is that it explains the larger concentration of pro right leaning posts on a conspiracy page. The right's point of view is largely more interesting because of the motivations and implications.
The left's point of view is slightly less interesting because the only influence, in general, is money.
Obviously there are exceptions, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts.
I'd wager there are simply more right leaning conspiracy theorists.

Let's talk about that influence "on us as capitalists" you mentioned. Do you think it's acceptable for these benevolent corporations, you seem so willingly to defend, should be able to buy and pay for "marketing" OP's directed at the American public through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit?
Let's say I had a soft drink that I had that I wanted to promote. If I paid these socials to advertise a contest giving away $100,000 dollars for a winner who posted the best selfie with my product, then paid them again to "organically" place all my other newly millions of relevant product photos all over the web advertising for me. I imagine I could sell millions of dollars of my soda across the world. Capitalism.
Take this business model and apply it to, I don't know, let's say Judge Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination process. This is still pure free market capitalism and you would support it, right?
You're right. We have sold our privacy. In ignorance. You're sort of proving my point u/WeAreTheResistance... These are all examples of money influencing our world.
That said, personally, I think the free market is an answer to a lot of what you're mentioning. Yes.
Look up Brave Browser. It's a free market solution to the privacy problems you bring up. There will always be innovation, and that innovation will replace monopolies.
So whoever has the most money now influences who we vote for? That's fair game to you? Is it really free market capitalism or more of a check mate cutthroat crony capitalism?
No, they aren't. They downvote counterpropaganda debunking the CIA's nonsense about Russia collusion, and pretty much anything else favorable to Trump.

That's a conspiracy theory. ;)
1 TightFilm 2018-09-18
OP is a shill working with a BIG player... I have the evidence just not willing to compromise my source. Here's a 10 minute YouTube video instead.
1 wlc 2018-09-18
Does the video use a text to speech voice? :)
1 HuberVille62 2018-09-18
Can't stand them.
1 kit8642 2018-09-18
In their defense, it seems to be a big day for them. So not suprising, we have a wide arrange of view point represented here.
1 HuberVille62 2018-09-18
Also, the millions of subscribers have spread out. Some are here now, still smarting from the takedown.
1 TapTheForwardAssist 2018-09-18
"Millions".
1 HuberVille62 2018-09-18
Ok, hundreds of thousands.

Sounds about right.
1 WeAreTheResistance 2018-09-18
Hint: They're not real. Their a Cambridge Analytica type OP. It's a great business model apparently.
1 kit8642 2018-09-18
IM me and tell me more, would love to hear this your perspective on it.
1 WeAreTheResistance 2018-09-18
Feel free to check my comment history, no need for IM's.
1 kit8642 2018-09-18
Fair enough.

How about you look in a fucking mirror before you slander people that happen to disagree with you.
1 RohypnolPickupArtist 2018-09-18
Don't bother, you're dealing with a person who has no ability to take accountability for themselves.

1 tiberius_regulus 2018-09-18
Make asses great again? I agree. These big booties thots are very unattractive.
1 RMFN 2018-09-18
Thot police?
1 tiberius_regulus 2018-09-18
That hoe over there doesn't police my thoughts.

I also said, "Neither point is wrong."

Elections are still free market capitalism. Yes.
1 WeAreTheResistance 2018-09-18
So whoever has the most money now influences who we vote for? That's fair game to you? Is it really free market capitalism or more of a check mate cutthroat crony capitalism?
1 smyttiej 2018-09-18
Money is free speech
1 WeAreTheResistance 2018-09-18
Oh I get it now. Whoever has the most of it, is who gets free speech, that's is what you're saying.
I'm confused though, If someone is paying for that speech at a corporate level, how is it free again?
1 TheRisenOsiris 2018-09-18
Free speech is free speech.
1 Rockran 2018-09-18
Ahh I see. So anything anti-trump is legit but anything pro-trump is paid for.
1 Red-Vagabond 2018-09-18
Shills? The Q forums were banned. This is their refuge.

1 HuberVille62 2018-09-18
That's the way it looks to me on many subs. We have all shared in a grand delusion. We were asleep. Some are awake, while others still slumber.
They don't like being woken up so they keep hitting the snooze button. (Downvotes)
1 PraiseKEK7722 2018-09-18
I will gladly take a ban for this. I sincerely hope you kill yourself.
1 FartfullyYours 2018-09-18
I am suprised that they aren't posting calls for violence.
