45.8 million views in under 10 hours. I seriously think that when the left cheered he was gone from FOX I don't think they understood exactly what would happen. He will be the nail in the coffin for the MSM.

I've always publicly stated I'm not a Tucker fan. But things are changing in the global media landscape so I watched it as a welcome mat for a break from conventional media.

Tucker's coverage of non-human aircraft is curious, and I wonder if this is some rabbit-hole he HAS to go down in order to be allowed to carry on his message. I know, that's about as weird as it is for him to cover such a thing. I got my tin-foil hat on, don't care. Normies discussing UFO topics could be a slippery slope, so I hope he treads lightly on the subject. Else, he'll be in the same discussion as Alex Jones (in other words, AJ is probably compromised on some topics as well, some say MOSSAD). But Tuck's a seasoned media pundit, so it will be interesting to watch this new frontier of media content.

So you wanted him to reach a smaller audience?


I would like to have as much competition versus the MSM social media platform Twitter as possible.

Who knows about Tuckers real incentives on this subject but all this UFO/UAP talk is nothing but a bull shite distraction. Hire the top 12 physicists in the world, give them full access to the “evidence” and then maybe I would reach for my tin foil hat like so many on this subject. But as long as crackpots and intelligence officials (one and the same) are promoting these UFO/UAP aliens from other planet ideas I’m calling bull shite.

Is that stuff in the hands of friendlies or enemies - who knows? - hope they are friendly and can keep it covert.


I agree what some on here have already posted, that the ufo/uap stuff is a distraction. The problem you speak of is that the "hi-tech" stuff is not in the hands of "friendlies" and you can bet we won't know about it until it's too late.

Some one please explain the frickery that is going on with the “Views” count.

From my phone:



From my laptop:

I'll add that my phone and laptop are different accounts. My account through my phone I believe was shadow banned before the 2020 election. My laptop account is not shadow banned.

The way twitter counts "views" now is weird. They count it as a view if it appears in your feed, even if you scroll past it.

Surely advertisers understand this before they spend ad dollars on Twitter.

It would be nice to know the number of times the video has been played in its entirety.

Yeah, I think they're on to it. There was a story earlier this week that their ad revenue is down almost 60%. I guess they're hoping to make it up via subscriptions and/or Musk is willing to eat the cost to make it a personal playground that suits him.

the 15 million is how many people actually viewed a part of the video.

The 45 million or whatever is simply who viewed the tweet. Two different things.

That's why Twitter views are not treated anywhere near the same as youtube views, as I said previously

They do. I saw someone on twitter talking about it last night, and there are all kinds of other metrics they look at.

For instance one person mentioned that the metrics are about 100 twitter "views" per 1 Youtube view in most instances, and there are also all kinds of other metrics about full views of video, following, unfollowing, retweeting, etc etc

You're just so separated from reality, do you have caretakers to prepare your meals and make sure you go to the bathroom?

The ad revenue is down because trash corps listen to trash hate orgs like the human rights council about what constitutes "hate"

Based on Elon's most recent interview with the Babylon Bee and this NYTs article Elon is losing $200-$300 million per month. Cost is $4-$5 billion a year and revenue is ~$1 billion. He is bleeding cash and desperate for more ad revenue. Fidelity has estimated Twitter's current value at $15 billion. Even the richest man in the world can't stand these kinds of losses for too long before he jettisons these kinds of losing investments.

It will be interesting going forward.

Will Elon sell? What happens to the intelligence community/Twitter partnership? Will the federal government do a under the table bailout?

The irony of Tucker getting on twitter is that it will attract more views but that does not necessarily attract more ad revenue. Advertisers abandoned Tucker on Fox News. They will likely stay away on Twitter too.

The formula for Tucker may be posting on Rumble, get less views than he would on Twitter but make more ad revenue.

Didn't Elon say a week ago that Twitter could be profitable this month?

I liked it, except for the Alien BS. He should have at least pointed out that it is the latest distraction and possibly another play for endless cash by the MIC.
