I know moderation is expensive, but how much of a cost is it to Twitter on the scale of their various expenses? Is Parler's idea a reasonable cost savings from a business perspective?

Seems like some of the appeal was the lack of moderation

Is staffing your meat packing plant with sickly orphans a reasonable cost savings from a business perspective?

I think you're taking an overly negative tone with someone who appears to agree with you.
GGP: It's a bad choice, but it saved a bunch of money.
GP: I don't think it even saved much money, percentage wise, did it?
And then your reply takes a very negative tone, as if the GP is suggesting that some amount of cost savings would have justified it. The GP is not suggesting that some amount of cost savings justifies what was done.

I'm a socialist. I'm just curious if Parler was more of an ideological or a business play. If it's a business play, then the ideological dressing could be interpreted as just a hook to get rubes onto the platform (though it could be both too).
