>“The Problem with Jon Stewart,” which launched on AppleTV+ in September, appears to be a flop, as it trails far behind its competitors on broadcast and cable TV, according to Bloomberg.
>The show’s first episode was seen by just 180,000 US homes in the first week it debuted last fall, measurement firm Samba TV said. That number dropped to 78% to 40,000 by its fifth episode, which aired in early March.
>Stewart’s comic rival John Oliver, meanwhile, pulled in viewership of 844,000 US homes for a March episode of his HBO show, “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” Samba TV reported.
this nigger was never funny, im glad redditors finally gave up on him
Zachary White
I thought he was retired
Dominic Rogers
if he had made this show 1-2 years after leaving the daily show he probably would have done big numbers, now barely anyone remembers why he was famous in the first place
Zachary Wood
quick how do we blame white people for this so we can bump the numbers
Gabriel Morgan
That's standard for niche streaming shows on programs no one has. You either go HBO, Netflix, or cable if you want ratings.
Dylan Bell
He's bombing because people are sick of blatant white people bad shit but also because his demographic is too old
Jayden Ortiz
This. He's acting out the protocols in real time.
Brayden Brown
>That's standard for niche streaming shows on programs no one has This damage control doesn't work user because he had an audience and they stopped watching the show. His ratings DECLINED not they never existed.
Benjamin Sullivan
I thought he was on HBO?
Wyatt Foster
Are they really sick of it? I hope so, but its optimistic that anything besides a psychological hand grenade can shake your average apple+ subscriber to racial consciousness.
John Brooks
There are enough uneducated libtards in the world and nobody needs or wants another one
Noah Garcia
whites did 911
Angel Butler
What is Apple+'s demographics anyway? Old people and silicon valley liberals? Isn't that his people?
Ethan Bell
They're confused about what to do with "the message". No one on their side actually wants to sit down and be told that they're the problem with america due to their skin colour. It's probably mentally draining even if you believe it. They just want to give empty virtue signaling about it that changes nothing. Basically they're all liars and hypocrites about it which is always the case.
Andrew Richardson
I'm honestly surprised he opted for the full on woke dead horse route for this show. He was never the smartest man in the world, but he at least seemed smart enough to know this would the quickest way to crash and burn the ratings. Even for brain rotted trans zoomers the whole white people bad shtick is too played out and boring without some kind of new angle or event to be furious about. I mean, maybe he's just dancing to his handlers tune, but I would expect to see more depression and "gun to his head" vibes from his mannerisms if that were the case. Who knows really
Justin Price
Yeah most likely, the only minds he's changing are the producers
Chase Martin
>number dropped to 78% to 40,000
His numbers before dropping were trash.
The only reason you make a niche streaming show is to get a big check from a big media company. No one watches these shows and they will be 10+ years before any of it is profitable. No one is going to go through the trouble of signing up for Apple+ just for Jon Stewart.
Dominic Brown
Good enough for Apple. Your propaganda is dying.
Jordan Rodriguez
Jews, stop shitting on white people and you might earn some more money.
Adrian Taylor
>his demographic is too old geez user im only 35
Elijah Jones
>because people are sick of blatant white people bad shit then why is john oliver so popular?
Colton Anderson
John Oliver's show isn't white people bad it's Republicans bad mixed in with some watchdog like stories.
Jace Hernandez
>watchdog like what? His show is just "government good, voluntary trade bad"
William Martin
Should've streamed on shudder
his loss
Thomas Diaz
Like when he shits on the WWE for their work conditions or those loans scams with the high interest rates. He occasionally does shit like that
he cannot distinguish himself from all the correspondents The Daily Show spawned. As much as he pretends otherwise and positions as a maverick, his politics are just standard-issue New York Dem Jew. He is the Radical Centrist meme come alive. 'The Problem with...' is like The Daily Show but slightly more serious except he isn't slightly smarter to match.
Aiden White
>The Problem with Jon Stewart Is this the worst TV show title of all time? It certainly doesn't make me -want- to watch it.
Austin Lopez
the retards that like him just watch to have their opinions regurgitated to them and he went against their narrative
Benjamin King
>or those loans scams with the high interest rates. How are those scams? lmao If they were banned, people who needed quick cash couldn't get loans at all or would have to turn to illegal loan sharks holy fuck learn economics all of you leftists are retarded Oliver is wrong about 90% of things and wants us to live in a poverty stricken totalitarian onions state where you need a loisence to breathe
Hmm, why would a White person have a show featuring the problems with his own kind?
Tyler Perry
>Like when he shits on the WWE for their work conditions Oh no, those poor wealthy wrestlers.
Adam Thomas
Why does the establishment, all the media companies, all the big banks heavily promote people like john oliver?
Alexander Robinson
>How are those scams? They prey on people who can't afford to pay them back.
It's ok you racist white wingers don't always have to suck off all corporate dick.
Daniel Walker
>Oh no, those poor wealthy wrestlers. Not all of them are wealthy and their contracts allow them to be fired at any time for any reason. They work more days then the majority of workers and are constantly pressured to wrestle despite injuries
Xavier Anderson
>They prey on people who can't afford to pay them back. If they couldn't pay back the loans, they wouldn't be made. If the company made loans like they they would constantly lose money. I've gotten those loans before. They wouldn't give me past a certain amount, it was dependent on my income.
>It's ok you racist white wingers don't always have to suck off all corporate dick. Oh fuck lmao you're so incredibly brainwashed it's unreal. You cannot stop sucking corporate AND state cock. You people worship central banks and support working long hours as your wages get valued by inflation. Kill yourself you bootlicking subhuman.
Jacob Miller
I didn't say he was against all of those. He goes against the low hanging fruit and safe targets for the most part.
Colton Reyes
>That number dropped to 78% to 40,000 by its fifth episode, I would say that's 40,000 who need to be forcibly sterilized, but since they're liberals they're taking themselves out the gene pool anyways.
Connor Fisher
>contracts allow them to be fired at any time for any reason. GOOD What exactly is wrong with this?
>They work more days then the majority of workers Because they choose to work for WWE. They get paid much higher than the typical worker. Oliver has you people heavily brainwashed into leftist nonsense.
>constantly pressured to wrestle despite injuries Then don't fucking work there. Simple.
John Edwards
Ironic how a /pol/ racist is protecting Jewish usury here.
Hunter Davis
"take it from me, a guy who has to take out payday loans regularly"
shut up dork and go back to work
Colton Ramirez
>allow them to be fired at any time for any reason. oh no economic efficiency, the horror bad employee should be allowed to keep their jobs and continue being unproductive leeches
Ian Brown
As a leftist who usually agrees with his criticism of the right, I think he's utterly obnoxious. >smug >snarky >not funny >self-righteous >presents himself as the voice of reason, but falls back on the "I'm just a comedian" schtick whenever it suits him
Christian Wilson
>What exactly is wrong with this? No worker protection.
>Because they choose to work for WWE. and? A corporation shouldn't treat its workers well? Again tone down the corporate dick sucking.
>Then don't fucking work there. Simple. Or the company can treat its workers better?
Nathaniel King
>"take it from me, a guy who has to take out payday loans regularly" I've taken a few installment loans over a decade ago and paid them back within a year. I'm much more wealthy today. They were definitely helpful. You're absolutely retarded and have zero argument. Continue supporting the systematic enslavement of the working class you subhuman.
>As a leftist What's it like being a gullible bootlicker?
Carter Morales
>180 000 >48 000 They’re competing with Twitch and Youtubers. Nobody stresses this comparison enough. Even shows with a million views have Youtubers outperforming them.
A cunt like Tim Pool that nobody takes seriously can rack up a million. Or Hasan if you prefer. JStew is irrelevant. Late Night is irrelevant. Compared to some fucking retards picked at random.
Yet who gets billboards? Commercials? Namedrops in the news? Establishment media. They still ACT like these people are in control and everything revolves around them and their opinions.
I think about that more and more. We say they’re afraid of the competition but even that’s a last decade view. They’re annihilated already.
>No worker protection. SO WHAT? The point of the economy is to satisfy subjective demand, not to waste resources on people that don't provide such demand. What a fucking idiot. >A corporation shouldn't treat its workers well? Jobs are scarce. An employer can only treat their workers as well as the economy demands it. >corporate dick sucking. You people support printing trillions of dollars and giving to to banks and corporations lmao. You want us to work long hours for little pay. HAHAHA
>Or the company can treat its workers better? The workers get paid higher than typical wages for the work they do. There are plenty of other jobs available if they don't want to work here.
Nicholas Collins
Look at the ratings for Jon Stewart and Jon Oliver's shows.
They're both pathetic. People are tired of the lame, unfunny propaganda.
Hudson Williams
The "chosen people" are far too pigheaded to follow this sagely advice.
Elijah Diaz
>>treating workers well is bad You're actually too dumb to understand my point. I hate economic illiterate leftists so fucking much. We need helicopter rides for them. Imagine thinking you're ENTITLED to waste society's scarce resources. Why should unproductive workers continue to leach off the rest of us?
Trump is a leftist just like yourself. I'm an austro-Libertarian.
This show is one that literally makes you think to yourself "Is it really their nature to be like this?"
Levi Allen
he used to get millions of views because youtube promoted him many modern communists/leftists today got their start down this path by watching these videos in the 2015-2019 era
Kevin Gomez
You know why user
Joshua Long
>SO WHAT? The point of the economy is to satisfy subjective demand You can't have an economy that works unless you have a thriving middle class. Treating your workers like shit and not paying them well and outsourcing is going to eventually destroy your economy and capitalism. >Jobs are scarce. An employer can only treat their workers as well as the economy demands it. >The workers get paid higher than typical wages for the work they do. There are plenty of other jobs available if they don't want to work here. Oh you are a retarded boomer this makes sense now. >You people support printing trillions of dollars and giving to to banks and corporations lmao. How much has Trump, Bush and Regan printed remind me again?
Noah Nelson
>unproductive workers How do you know they were "unproductive"
Christopher Turner
Yes, if only the Jews knew how to make money.
Christian Green
>Apple+ does anyone even have it?
Alexander King
>You can't have an economy that works unless you have a thriving middle class. You get a thriving middle class by having an efficient productive economy, not by forcing businesses to keep inefficient workers employed. How dumb are you? >Treating your workers like shit Employers do not dictate working conditions, hour and wages. >How much has Trump, Bush and Regan printed remind me again? A massive fucking amount. What the hell makes you think I support those communists?
Jace Long
That anti white people segment was a tactical move to signal that he is down with the sjws and youth to try and get ratings, but it didnt work because being that tumblerfied anti white asshole is passe in 2022
>How do you know they were "unproductive" because the company wanted to fire them because they weren't profitable? simple If they were making the company money, they would be kept on.
Jackson Martinez
>Trump is a leftist just like yourself No he's not, moron.
Not-libertarian/anarchist =/= leftist
Michael Wright
You're right, it's probably a total cohencidence that he happens to be Jewish.
Jordan Garcia
>You get a thriving middle class By treating your workers well and giving them decent pay and benefits and not blindly just doing whatever maximizes profits short term boomer retard. >Employers do not dictate working conditions, hour and wages. I didn't say they did? Is dementia starting to hit you? >A massive fucking amount. How are Trump Bush and Regan commies?
James Perez
oh no I'm so sad
Luis Green
>They work more days then the majority of workers
except they don't anymore as house shows were cut back
Dylan Foster
Yes, if only the jews knew how to stop mutilating newborn baby boys, inbreeding with each other, installing puppet regimes in foreign lands, etc.
Jose Reed
Isn’t his real name Einstein or some shit?
Cooper Lee
>No he's not, moron. >supports central banking, inflation, moderately high taxes, extremely high levels of government spending, massive regulation, social services like social security/medicare/obamacare, supports high tariffs
uhhhhh
>By treating your workers well Employers do not control these things. The economy thrives when it's productive. More things are produced using less labor inputs. >benefits No company should pay benefits. One of the main reason benefits are so expensive is because the government makes businesses provide them. Workers should get higher wages instead of benefits. >maximizes profits short term Profit should be maximized long term so prices come down and there are more jobs. >How are Trump Bush and Regan commies? Their economic policies were incredibly interventionist.
Adrian Scott
I think they're doing just fine. Might wanna worry a bit more about yourself, Jeb.
Oliver Davis
>because the company wanted to fire them because they weren't profitable? Go look up AEW. They are full of ex WWE guys who moved there and became popular. One guy, Cody Rhodes actually came back to the WWE recently after they dropped him to the curb. If you knew anything about the topic, you would know WWE is incredibly mismanaged right now and ratings reflect that. Not that this matters because you are incapable of listening to any reason.
Still more days working which includes traveling than your average worker.
>Employers do not control these things. Yes they do. They are literally the ones that sign your checks. >No company should pay benefits. One of the main reason benefits are so expensive is because the government makes businesses provide them. Workers should get higher wages instead of benefits. >Profit should be maximized long term so prices come down and there are more jobs. >Their economic policies were incredibly interventionist. Imagine larping so much as a crazy right wing caricature because this thread annoys you this much.
Anthony Scott
uuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh if anything, Trump would be considered moderate.
He supports the lowest amount of taxes he can possibly get away with. Suggesting he's a leftist because he's not in favor of reducing taxes to near-0 and limiting spending to national defense is dishonest.
>extremely high levels of government spending, massive regulation, social services like social security/medicare/obamacare, supports high tariffs No candidate who doesn't support most of those things would be able to win.
Be less dishonest pls.
Blake Hughes
>Go look up AEW. They are full of ex WWE guys who moved there and became popular. One guy, Cody Rhodes actually came back to the WWE recently after they dropped him to the curb. If you knew anything about the topic, you would know WWE is incredibly mismanaged right now and ratings reflect that. Not that this matters because you are incapable of listening to any reason. The fact AEW exists proves my point. Market competition forcing flawed companies to fix their shit. None of this changes the fact that it's a good thing when un-profitable workers get fired. What if the company needs to fire workers if they need to downsize or whatever? All you want is inefficient unproductive economies that make workers worse off.
>Yes they do. No they don't lmfao The labor market exists. Why do 95% of businesses pay above the minimum wage with benefits? Nobody is forcing them to. Supply and demand of labor is a thing. >Imagine larping so much as a crazy right wing caricature What the fuck? I actually unironically believe these things because I've read books. Common sense and basic economics sounds crazy to you because you're a leftist in a bubble who's never questioned his religion before. Read Mises and Rothbard.
Jaxon Price
>Trump would be considered moderate. Trump spent and printed far more than Obama. How is that moderate? >He supports the lowest amount of taxes he can possibly get away with. Taxes were slightly reduced during his presidency. They were still very very high. Also the spending far outweighed any slight tax decreases. >No candidate who doesn't support most of those things would be able to win. That's why I hate america and democracy.
Jonathan Carter
People like you are why it's embarrassing to admit I lean left these days. You are like children, posting nothing but mocking caricatures and nonsense all the time. No argument or beliefs or anything.
Jaxon Lee
Ah yes, the always-fresh, never-stale "redneck"/"russian bot" insult. Losing an argument? Can't refute the points your opponent brings up? Just call them "Cletus", "Ivan", "Vlad", or "Jethro".
Noah Russell
>gullible bootlicker He said leftist not rightwinger.
Ryder Price
This is why people say liberalism is a mental disorder. Because of this guy melting down and whining about Trump in one post and larping as a right wing caricature in another.
Dominic Bennett
>why do these people insist on voting against their own interests! >Don't those racist hick incels know we know what's best for them!? >I bet their really just Russian trolls! Every fucking time.
Levi Jackson
His hate whitey video had over 100k dislikes on youtube before they deleted many of them so it didn't hurt his feelings.
Anthony Lewis
>People like you are why it's embarrassing to admit I lean left these days. LOL What? I don't give a shit. You should be embarrassed to be a leftist. You people are absolutely retarded manchildren who want everyone to suffer.
>He said leftist Yes, one who support extreme levels of state power over their lives, one who supports extreme restrictions on economic freedom leading to poverty. Yes, leftists are bootlickers. >larping as a right wing caricature I'm a Libertarian. I love how much you seethe over not being able to refute anything we say. I hope Milei wins in Argentina and throws you cunts out of helicopters.
Jack Williams
Uh sweatie just import the entire third world and have politicians declare supply and demand doesn't exist ugh it's. Not. That. Complicated. UGH.
