Feel free to cross-post the video to some Peertube instance and send us the link!

It's almost as if we didn't have any other way to view it.

[–] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Yes but mere mortals don't know of such things.

Download the video file with yt-dlp and seed a torrent. Upload it to a peertube instance or host your own. Be the change you want to see.

Does anybody else find it obnoxious when people only point out problems for doomerism circlejerking but do nothing to be part of or spread awareness of the solution?

I'm not boycotting Disney anymore. What they did was so far beyond the pale, it's definitely deserved it (and I did). But finding a mega corp that has directly defied Trump at all is refreshing and imo should be positively reinforced.

For the record, I'm giving them less than I did before. But incentives work and we need them to support basic rights.

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.

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?

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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 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.

Thanks for this. Guess I can watch it now.

"Low ratings"

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 40 points 6 months ago (5 children)

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.

[–] mortemtyrannis@lemmy.ml 11 points 6 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] PhAzE@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

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...

[–] blobchoice@feddit.uk 6 points 6 months ago

Kimmel should've revealed the next GTA6 trailer to get more views. Bro is slacking fr

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago

Now add all the people who watched it live.

[–] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

Will, having some controversy/talk around the show will do that for a show. Just like Colbert. Do you remember him?

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

this more than anything proves, they only care about one thing: money.
