I usually don't watch his show (I prefer Stephen Colbert and John Oliver).
But I've just watched the whole return monologue, and subscribed to Jimmy's channel because of recent events.
Why? They bent the knee and went back on it when they lost money. How does that stop a boycott?
Cause is Jimmy's channel. We can still say fuck ABC and Disney
By subscribing to his channel, you show how popular he is and how foolish Disney's decision was
Just keep in mind he has done a lot of regime propaganda for the Dems. Not someone I would watch uncritically.
Like what? Any example?
15000 children dead because of Kamala Harris? No wonder no one takes leftists seriously. Insert self-inserting stick into bicycle spokes meme here.
No one wants to hear your anti-leftist rhetoric because of one random internet person
I'm sorry, what? It's anti-leftist to call out the idiots dragging the left down and making us look like deranged lunatics? A group of people chanting in a crowd is one internet person? Are you quite sure about all that?
Oh, I get it. It's like how it's anti-American to stand up to the people destroying America.
Does anybody else find it weird that we're boycotting one mega corp then using another mega corp's platform to view this?
Welcome to dystopia.
Freedom of choice. Only the best for the land of the free
Feel free to cross-post the video to some Peertube instance and send us the link!
Where do I get the video?
Cool thanks, but the origin of the video is still YouTube which is my point...
Then you don't understand your own point. It sounds like your complaint is about where the video is hosted. Host it elsewhere and that should fix your issue. Is your real problem with the content of the video then?
It's almost as if we didn't have any other way to view it.
Not with that attitude! Someone else already linked the video, anyone could upload it to a Peertube then send us the link. Or heck, dailymotion. I hear it's back.
Yes but mere mortals don't know of such things.
Bro just discovered capitalism. Are you going to throw out your phone too? Or do you draw the line at child labor and blood metals?
Yeah! I just threw my phone out! Thanks for the pro tip, bro!
Tell me when you find utopia. Until then, shut up and pick the lesser of evil choices that you've always had to choose from anyway.
What a weird response. Are you Mr. YouTube or something? John YouTube?
Johan YouTube, everything was invented by someone named Johan. Ask Johan Ice.
Yes. The economy is impossible to navigate 100% of the time with your ethics fully intact. There are no perfect answers, only better ones.
I encourage you and everyone to avoid black-and-white thinking about this, and instead, invite a nuanced approach. Strive to make better decisions, but embrace the fact that perfection is impossible. Compromise doesn't undo your ethical fiber, but do be aware of the consequences of the choices you make.
Edit: I'm around if anyone wants a deeper convo about this.
i agree with your sentiment, but misunderstand the 'confusion' (definately wrong word, sorry) about the source being on yt.
of course one mega corp is going to utilise another mega corps infrastructure. these institutions must back each other, forcing customers to go to their friends store is better (and cheaper) for them in every imaginable sense.
i guess what the crux of my misunderstanding is why the source even matters. really the source is abc or whatever, so uploading it to peertube or archive.org is better anyway, right?
idk, let me know if i understood or not.
"Low ratings"
Trump is a jackass, so he lies about everything. Kimmel has the second-highest viewership in the States, behind Colbert.
If we want to talk numbers, Trump's "The Apprentice" had a max 20 million viewers (peak was in season 1 😂), which took a nosedive each year for the entire run of the show.
Kimmel's YouTube channel has over 13 BILLION views with over 20 million subscribers and gaining over 100,000 new subscribers per month. Factor in viewers from TV and he destroyed Trump's show no contest.
Well with people ditching TV as a whole, I wouldn't be surprised if late night were suffering the worst.
He should have gone on the attack and went after Trump even harder in the return monologue.
It looks as if he is just scared of losing his job and capitulated.
Disappointing, but I never did like Kimmel so I’m not surprised.
It wouldnt be just his job, but the entire production crew as well, which is quite a lot of people.
He should have called them out for trying to make it about Charlie Kirk when clearly it was retaliation for exposing Trumps disregard for Kirk as well as turning attention back to the Epstein files.
I like Kimmel and watch him regularly. I honestly don't know how real those tears were. Everyone was speculating he'd have to apologize. I feel like he narrowly skirted admitting any wrong doing by appeasing the mob with an appeal to emotion.
but Trump said he got cancelled due to poor ratings? is ABC stupid?
It had like 1.2 million views by 1 hour in after posting.
I also think the channel crossed the 21 million subscriber threshold overnight.
But it only has 17 million views!
Don't get me wrong, that's a lot—but a drop in the ocean by YouTube standards. Kimmel's a lot less popular than I thought...
Kimmel should've revealed the next GTA6 trailer to get more views. Bro is slacking fr
Now add all the people who watched it live.
this more than anything proves, they only care about one thing: money.
