I wish one of you woke morons would explain why you somehow switched to supporting Zuck, and hating on Musk?

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it, we all have free will and a right to believe, but why?

I don’t think this has been mentioned, but do y’all remember when Ol Cucker Tarlson got fired from Fox News and then went to Twitter?

So Twitter said that his first episode June 6 had about 26.7 million views where a view is anyone who scrolled past and watched at least 2 seconds of the show, so already it’s a pretty inflated number.

His most recent had just 3.8 million views.

Tucker Carlson’s Twitter show is haemorrhaging viewers with 85% drop from first episode, reports say | The Independent

I just find it funny because I remember the hype of that first show.

The weekly declines would be bad for a summer blockbuster but it’s a regular show.

First episode 108 million views

Third episode 104 million views

Yep, his ratings have dropped

of course FOX is around 1.42 million viewers in primetime,

MSNBC averaged 1.16 million viewers

So if his last episode only has 9.2 million views, he's still more watched than all the prime time corporate news show combined

It's a brave new world

Lol, you really are a disingenuous piece of shit.

First off those are views of tweets and you selectively chose data points that misrepresent the trend.

Quote:

Views for "Tucker Carlson on Twitter" posts (assume the number of people who actually viewed the videos is much much lower).


Ep. 1: 120M
Ep. 2: 60.6M
Ep. 3 (Trump indicted): 104.1M
Ep. 4: 32.4M
Ep. 5: 17.3M
Ep. 6: 32M
Ep. 7: 15.4M
Ep. 8: 8.6M

If perpetual motion machines exist, you aren’t a piece of shit.

9.2 is literally not the viewership number for his show, that’s views of his tweets.

Also, already discussed how viewership is calculated differently.

No, nobody mentioned that at all. In fact, until you posted about it, I don't think anyone even knew about it.

And the statistics? Well, if you hadn't made them up and posted them, nobody would have known that either! You are awesome.

Also, "Ol Cucker" was an amazing burn. It's even funnier because your avatar is an angry penis. Never stop being you.

Lol. That's the problem with thinking you know everything; you assume that if you don't know it, nobody else does either.

Wait, I linked the source of the stats. I even linked the source of the stats that you deliberately misrepresented, so explain how did I make those stats up?

That’s rhetorical, as I won’t be continuing this conversation with you further.

I understand that you think everyone is a dishonest piece of shit since you are, but most of us here strongly value facts and reason and honesty to the same degree that you eschew them.

In lulzy news, the Lolbertarian Party of Colorado is bitching about getting booted from Twitter. LPCO doesn't come right out and deny violating Twitter's rule against "threaten[ing], incit[ing], glorify[ing], or express[ing] a desire for harm or violence." Predictably, the Lolberts' complaint is more of a "you haven't proven it" sort of deal.
