Episode 2 just dropped: https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1666928190445477890

5.2 MM views in 1 hour, although I understand there are very valid reasons to not consider that number precise. Even a fraction of that is huge and I think even the most anti-Tucker of Leftist agitprops would have trouble arguing that anything mainstream media puts out tonight will beat this clip.

Genius CEOs thought Fed money printer and covid were forever too.

You’re not a genius CEO. If the experts get it wrong all the time (and spend a ton of effort promoting what they “do right” to shape perception) why believe you saying 2 successful vids is a lasting trend?

Social media has exposed there is a depressing number of easily titillated by big numbers rubes in the world.

Lindy effect, Goodharts Law; the last 60-70 years are an outdated af zeitgeist to perpetuate.
