Miracle Whip is revolting.

I had to put a cat down today. I was envious.

On YouTube, Steven Crowder uses racist stereotypes to attack Black farmers

STEVEN CROWDER: Joe -- former vice president Joe Biden -- his America Rescue Plan includes farmer reparations. Now, what does that mean? It means -- and I don't know where you find this many farmers of color, but they did. And 5.2 billion are being allocated exclusively for colored farmers -- farmers of color, farmers of color. Roll the tape.

...

CROWDER: Most happy about the new policy, these people. So, yeah. I'm gonna buy a plow man.

CO-HOST: I'm going buy corn.

CROWDER: I'm going to buy a John Deere. Barack Obama mother -- I'm the president of plowing that ***.

DAVE LANDAU (CO-HOST): I thought the last thing they would want to do is be farmers. Wasn't that a big problem for hundreds of years?

CROWDER: Isn't that why Arsenio Hall called himself the urban man's Johnny Carson?

LANDAU: I think so.

CROWDER: Yeah, I don't know, I don't know. Are people lining up out in the middle of cornfield Iowa for new dunks?

...

LANDAU: I planted a Hennessy tree, but it's not growing.

CROWDER: Well, technically it did grow, but that **** ain't XO --

LANDAU: I put it in the ground.

CROWDER: I planted a VSOPXO tree. I'm getting into some niche esoteric cognac humor mother****er.

He is sooooo thirsty for Limbaugh's audience. They're all trying to outdo each other right now.

So is this guy Crowder teevee or what?

He has 5m YouTube followers, so he's pretty big on there. For some reason his channel is allowed to remain even as others have their videos demonitized by the YT algorithms and content police.

Honest question: is that a lot?

I have no feel for what constitutes a significant following on the interwebs. And if a guy has 5M followers what percentage are more than casual curiosity? 1%? Less?

I know a few of these like Milo are full bore celebutards, but this seems like somebody tweets something stupidand then 5M tweet it to make fun of it and then 11 seconds later it's washed out of the system. Do any of these morons actually have any lasting effect on an audience, or is it all instantaneous and transient titillation?

It's a lot for a political channel. For comparison, Ben Shapiro has 2.9M, and David Pakman has 1.3M. I believe Crowder was demonitized by YT already due to his spat with Vox, but they added him back in August. He's a younger Alex Jones, but sells a subscription service called "Mug Club" instead of dietary supplements.

YouTube already pulled the video in question.

5m subscribers is a lot for any channel. 100k is the benchmark for any channel to actually be somewhat successful, 1m is doing dang well.

Of course, he could be buying bot subscribers to pump his numbers.

[Kepler]

Thanks.

This sounds like those opera singers who pay mercenaries in the gallery at La Scala to applaud them and boo their rivals.

I don't if he's sub botting or not, given his content he may well not be, and I'm not gonna poke around and look at videos to figure out his subscribers to views ratio.

Edit: a good subs to views ratio would be 14% or 14k views per 100k subscribers.

Submitted without comment. Well, one comment. Florida.

Oh jeebus. That's a bad way to go

He slid down the bridge and fell in between the section of the bridge that moves and the fixed part of the roadway,

I could not tell if that meant he was crushed at the fulcrum, or if he just fell through the gap and plunged to his death.
