When you click I accept when you join Facebook, for instance, you're accepting the fact that they are taking your data, they're selling it for billions of dollars. Google and Apple are probably selling our data right as we speak. I heard somewhere it's like 900 bucks per person per day. Per day? Per day. That's actually insane. All right, guys, John Willis here from Parlor.
We are at America Fest. You ready? It's going to be a good week. Rock and roll, my friends. Let's do it. Have you been to America Fest before? I haven't. This is my first time. Same here. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know what to expect, but it's been a good start. Yeah. I'm cool people. A lot of cool people. Parlor's got two booths. We do. We're trying to corner the market here. Yes, sir.
You literally have both corners. Both corners. Yeah, literally. What's new at Parlor? Oh, man. You know, we... We are trying to do some pretty crazy stuff. You know, we bought Parler a year ago. So, December... Actually, it was a year ago this week. Why not? So, we bought Parler... But the brand, the database, the IP, everything. And we already owned a tech company already based in Texas.
And we decided to go ahead and take all the tech that we already had and slap the Parler label on top of it. And this past year has just been insane. I mean, we've been pretty much working in stealth mode. And what we have been building under the radar, under the media radar and such, is really a replacement to big tech.
You know, you have a lot of these alternative platforms out there like Rumble, which is an alternative to YouTube. And then you have True Social, which is an alternative to X. We decided let's go a little bit bigger and let's just create a whole alternative to big tech, you know, a replacement for big tech. So, Parler was a no-brainer to relaunch because it was a well-known brand.
It was number one in the App Store before it was shut down by big tech right after the 2020 election. You know, Apple, Google, and AWS colluded with each other. They all shut it down the same day, right around the same time that Trump was banned and conservatives all around were banned. So, yeah.
So what we decided to do is with our other company, we decided to create an autonomous solution that wouldn't be reliant on big tech. And the key component of that is having your own cloud. When you have your own cloud, you pretty much can do whatever the heck you want.
Because from a cost perspective, cloud services, you may know this, is usually one of the most cost, you know, most prohibitive things of really trying to build your company because the cost is so expensive. And AWS knows it. Microsoft knows it. Akamai knows it. And so they know these things, and so they charge a fortune for these services.
And so what we did is we wanted to create this autonomous solution that wasn't reliant on those companies and wanted to put Parler on top of that. And so when you look at the Parler and the Parler ecosystem today, it's completely autonomous. We're not relying on big tech for anything, which is awesome. So what we've done is when we relaunched Parler,
