I've wondered the same thing. But will it enhance or detract from the platform ?

Free speech can never detract from the platform, @cattledog. You characterized him correctly as a “successful showman”. Let him open his show here. Take a million followers out of those F*book and YTube fools.

I agree. If it causes a mass migration of users to new (independent and blockchain driven) platforms, then that can only be a good thing.

The spin I can see them trying is "oh you can't trust anything you seen on Steemit, they even have that crazy Alex Jones posting there". But it's a narrative I think will ultimately fail.
