Well I learned on this very forum that we can make large generalizations and use stereotypes to inform our opinion without the need for additional critical thinking or logic. Can you prove otherwise? Do you know for a fact that if someone likes watching late night with Colbert that they wouldn't switch to Kimmel instead when Colbert is no longer around? 

Stereotypes are often accurate about groups. 

Key context is ‘groups’ and ‘often.’

Always remember… Not ‘individuals.’  Not ‘always.’

There are likely more group truths that are different between the audiences to consider.  Say two years back research indicated Colbert’s group is intelligent and Kimmel’s group is more caveman, you can now use this fairly accurate group stereotype for predictions and decisions.  

You don’t need to be overly concerned about some random contrarian Peter when considering the larger Colbert and Kimmel groups.  You don’t need to take months for more research.

A mental short cut is often better than paralysis.

It's easy to make it look like ratings went WAY up when you are starting from the bottom

Considering Erika Kirk and Megan Kelly had over 1 BILLION VIEWS on the first podcast post Charlie little Jimmy Blackface having 6 million Tune in isn’t such a big deal.

People wanted to see what Kimmel had to say.  They wanted drama.

In 30 days... I will eat crow if Kimmel's ratings remain high.  Previously spoons on x.com were getting more views than Kimmel.

It's just a temporary bump. Once a few weeks go by the ratings will plummet into the abyss. "AGAIN"

Probably even lower.

Would 007 consider this guy political?

 

There’s “circumstantial evidence” that Anibal Hernandez Santana, 64, had “a political motive behind” the shooting, Sacramento county district attorney Thien Ho said. “There are some indications here that the motive behind the shooting of the ABC news station was political in kind,” Ho remarked.

Stereotypes are tropes seldom rooted in truth based on your own internal bias.

1 Billion postcast views is kind of an unbelievable number.  Every man, woman, and child in the country would have had to watch it 3x on average to get that many views.  Essentially the only Youtube videos with that many views are music videos and those get viewed multiple times by an individual and have greater worldwide appeal than this would have.  It can still take weeks or months for a very popular song to top 1 billion views.

One of the things that has been cannibalizing the late night audience is the ability to watch the highlights later on youtube.  Why stay up and watch the whole show when you can just catch the good stuff on youtube later?  You said 6 million watched Jimmy Kimmel Live! in real time.  The monologue from Kimmel's return show was also posted to the show's youtube account.  I had posted a link to it yesterday.  That video has been viewed over 21 million times.  That's 3-4x the number that watched live.

If only people around the world were capable of watching too huh?   there’s almost 8 billion people in the world right.

You think over 12% of the world's population watched the podcast?  Use some critical thinking...

Do you think some people watched more than once ?  Do you think people watched it In groups ?
good grief

Peak viewers for the last super bowl was only ~130M viewers.  You would like me to believe that 10x watched this?  Or a significant number of people watched the podcast 2-3-4-5x over the past week?

Try and think critically on this Jimmy.  You don't have to believe any number someone posts on social media.

I really don’t care what you believe. Unless of course you’re against Marxism, socialism and communism.

It doesn't matter what I believe.  Think about it and decide for yourself.  Do you think more people watched this podcast than the past 8 NFL Super Bowls combined?  How many times have you listed to the podcast?  Do you often listen to the same podcast multiple times in a week?  Do you think many people listen to a podcast multiple times in a week?  The last world cup final was watched by 1.5 billion people do you think this podcast has a similar level of international interest?

Then why’d you’d you say “you expect me to believe”  it must matter then.

I shared my thoughts.  Feel free to share yours.  Do you think the podcast was viewed over 1 billion times?

How do you come to these conclusions, always going with something other than what is spoken.

This has got to be one of the most hilarious takes I've seen on here Jimmy... I love you for the troll that you are and I would think this funny if you were just trolling but I really think somewhere in that brain of yours you think that 1 billion out of the 8 that live on the earth- actually cared enough to watch this. And not only watch it, but watch it multiple times on multiple streaming platforms...

Bro I love you and your shtick but it loses its chutzpah when you say things like this and are serious about it. For the love don't do this to yourself! Don't lose your credibility to squeeze those liberal tears from us!
