Mike Lindell of MyPillow sounds like a crank but don't judge the book by the cover

If you listen to Lindell he's kind of a wild eyed bombastic sounding person.  But he does provide data to back up his claims and so you have the option of judging his data instead of his personality.  That is what smart people would do.

But you also have to judge him on the efficacy of his actions.  And so now we will see if Lindell is a genius or a complete fool because he is kicking off his own free speech site which cannot be controlled by facebook, google, etc.  He is calling it "Frank" which I think is an interesting choice of title.  It is unique and easy to remember.  Those are the marks of a well thought out public name for something.

From what I have seen, I think there is an 80% + chance of him making this a success.  What I hope he does is to make it an ad-free system.  This alone will give him an advantage over other social media sites.
