I am very neutral on this in general. Honestly, Stewart does not need Apple at this point pretty much at all.
But man, to have been a fly on the wall in that meeting. I've seen Stewart's "disappointed in you and not particularly worried about it" face and it's weapons grade old dad disappointment. There were definitely sweaty outlines on many of those chairs by the end of it.
Did he ever tho?
It's Jon Stewart. He can start a YouTube show and hit millions of subscribers within a week.
And then get banned from YouTube because he's not aligning with the company
If Russel Brand can be on Youtube without getting banned for his content, I think Jon would be fine.
Stewart could single-handedly start “JonTube” and it would be a success with no content but his own.
I could only dream of a news network with Jon at the helm. Fuck it would be glorious.
He needs a platform for his show. He probably wouldn't care if it was on OAN if he was able to do his own thing.
He's not going to do Youtube. If you're an actual celebrity, that's career suicide.
Not YouTube: too controversial. But I wouldn't put it past him to start his own federated service.
