It's all network effect. Parler somehow got some endorsements by well known Republicans like Hannity and Trump at a time when people on the right were looking to switch to something else, so they ended up with a lot more users than Gab.

Parler is bankrolled by Robert Mercer who absolutely has the network to get those kinds of endorsements.

I always worry about the objectives and goals behind the people in the shadows injecting money into projects like this. Twitter started off as an open forum, but look at it now.
