Just a guess but I would imagine he is looking for a bigger fan base and career revival. Maybe subconsciously an echo chamber?

If I could afford to buy these platforms I totally would. Then I would make Netflix series that delve into all the conspiracies given that I would own the rights to the conversations. Every season would revolve around the most popular narratives. Every topic would be on the table and not just surface coverage, I would hire many investigative journalists and private investigators. Sites like Reddit and 4chan would try hard to influence my episodes and I would totally let them. The end goal? Make money of course, and also let the world see how random and disingenuous public platforms can be and how easy it is to manipulate the masses or in some cases how half-truths can be molded into conspiracy.

> career revival

Kayne's career hasn't declined (unlike maybe his mental health)? His music seems he's as popular as ever.

In that case, perhaps boost his career and revenue? Are celebrities willing to strive for immortality at great expense? It's hard for me to get into a celebrities head.
