Vice NewsSilicon Valley appears to have blown up Milo Yiannopouloss business model.
The disgraced right-wing troll is complaining that the major social media companies have effectively cut off his alt-right audience and crushed his ability to make a decent living.
The former Breitbart tech writer shared the complaints on Telegram, a messaging app where some alt-right allies have set up shop after getting the boot by larger tech platforms. Yiannopoulos was banned from Twitter in 2016 for directing racist abuse at the comedian Leslie Jones, losing nearly 400,000 followers. He was banned from Facebook in May.
I spent years growing and developing and investing in my fan base, and they just took it away in a flash, wrote Yiannopoulos, whos previously rubbed shoulders with neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Its nice to have a little private chat with my gold star homies but I cant make a career out of a handful of people like that. I cant put food on the table this way.

Go flip burgers, or sell long ties, or dig graves or something, milo.
