What would happen if a host like DreamHost didn't cuck to those who want them to deplatform stuff?

It seems that if a publication like HuffPost contacts a company and says, "Hey, you're hosting content by this misogynist," then they take it down.

What would happen if they didn't? Why would DreamHost care about bad publicity, given that they don't rely on advertising for their revenue? Are they worried feminists will not want to host their sites there? Is it just that they get tired of fielding all the unfounded abuse reports from people clogging up their inbox, and dealing with the DDoS attacks from Anonymous, etc.?

So many people have been deplatformed that by this point, one would think there'd be some decent webhosts willing to cater to them, simply because it's gotta be a large market of people wanting a place where their voices can be heard. But nope, all we really have are a few places like prq.se and njal.la that have kinda shitty service. Beyond that, you gotta have weev-level tech skills to stay on the clearweb, it seems.

I guess part of the problem is that their uplink providers can cut them off, huh, @FeminismIsCancer ?

I think you pretty much answered your own questions. More DDOS, more bureaucracy, cucked upstream providers etc. It’s a lot easier to just be a cuck and follow the official narrative and tag along. Most small-business money is now with foids anyway. It’s so easy for them to use their social networks and market their shit. (Sometimes even their literal feces)

Deplatforming works, people like to pretend censorship will not be effective but research say otherwise

Really, what do you think would've happened if The Daily Stormer had never been deplatformed? What about r/Incels? I think both were places that hit the news when they got deplatformed, and before that weren't really all that famous.

Incelocalypse, too, was obscure till CuckTears started trying to deplatform it. The way it works is that they have to threaten the webhost, "We'll give you bad publicity if you don't cuck," but that also means they're going to draw everyone's attention to it, and some of those will be people who had never heard of it and will be sympathetic to its goals.

I think the key is, when you get deplatformed, you have to find a way to put your content back on the Internet. It's kinda like how if you're an activist, if you go to jail, you need to make sure it's only temporary, because otherwise people will forget about you. If you go to jail and get released, though, then it can become a helpful part of your biography, kinda like MLK's incarceration.

Most of these people who got deplatformed from YouTube had no other place to put their content, so in their case, deplatforming arguably worked. An example would be, lots of little kids were taking vids of themselves doing stuff that pedos wanted to see, and those kids didn't just start putting their content on BitChute when it got removed from YouTube. The content simply disappeared altogether from the Internet, kinda like my threatening email to the President, which is about 50% of my claim to fame, but generally can't be found anywhere on the Internet, except for the first sentence of it, and maybe a few excerpts now that you've quoted them in posts here.
