Of course Torba is a grifter. There are zero rightwing celebrities that aren't. They're all compromised. None can provide an experience that rivals any preexisting social media because they're all filled with extremists and religious fanatics. Nobody wants to be around those people.
Anyone who makes being "christian" their personality, much like anyone who makes being vegan their personality, is a retard and impossible to be around.
Not exactly a fan of Gab, but there isn't another service that works as a functional back-end for the Dissenter browser plug-in. Like other social media sites, sometimes they have uses if you limit the scope. (In which case one's discretion can skim below all the B.S. floating on top.)
Now if they start dicking around with that niche use, then I'd be put off by them.
GAB is the almost "family friendly" alternative to upscale "safe and dull" everybody's darling, SJW-tesla. So Gab is the GM electric car that is promising to ship without bugs "any day now", which a normal guy can afford.
4chan/8kun is the weird off-beat cousin's garage hot-rod car that runs on rocket fuel and has exploded a few times. Great curiosity, but few dare to enter, not to mention ride in for long stretches at once.
Those who have ridden it, know danger is the price to pay for true freedom.
There have been loads of chans and chan style sites, many been and gone, and there are still new ones being made. Most are blocked on search engines. I've only discovered obscure ones after seeing them mentioned on 4chan. You seriously do not want to visit most of them. 4chan /pol/ is like sunday school compared to some I've seen, and not in a remotely good way.
8chan was becoming a solid alternative until the New Zealander Tarrant posted there just before the ChristChurch happening, which pretty much ended the site.. It's replacement is 8kun but it's not very busy and apparently gets flooded with child porn from time to time so it's not really worth it.
I did notice this funny new one though, dedicated specifically to new meme generation:
People forget the left wing journalist who got banned by Torba in the early months and Torba taunting him and banning him repeatedly every time the guy posted that he got banned until Torba said he would stop banning because he believes in free speech.

4chan pruned lots of threads ive seen it. Lots of glowies, larpers and shillers.
