      They didn’t even include YouTube as one of the sources they counted, and time shifting was only within a day. I can’t be the only one who watched it on YouTube several days later

      Wish we could easily track those numbers. I guess someone could probably ballpark it based on a study of major sites that were streaming it at the time.

        Plus track it over time. Watching it online is not just timeshifting a few hours but may include watching it on a different day.

      But when you get into online views, you start hitting repeat viewers and non-US based viewers, so it’s not as significant.

        You can typically account for those. Multiple views, and per country views, are a very solved problem thanks to advertisement.

      I sorta doubt many young people cared.

          Young people are pissed off about the genocide in Palestine. They’ve been paying attention.

        Young means voting age or near voting age. Plenty of them care a lot. Their future is being decided. Will they have access to reproductive healthcare, will the planet be wrecked, will there be another election cycle.

        Then they’re idiots. This is about their future so much more than ever before. This is their chance to make a difference: their votes, their preferences are more important than ever before

        My 17 year old saw it before I did, but it was for a Law and Government class

        They’ll start to care, even a little, once they grow up more and realize that:

        “OMG I’M STILL RENTING APARTMENTS OR LIVING WITH MY FAMILY AND I’M 30 YEARS OLD, WHAT DO?!”

        “OMG I’M STILL MAKING SHIT WAGES AND I’M BARELY MAKING BY, WHAT DO?!”

        “OMG I CAN’T DO ANYTHING I WAS LIED TO THAT WHEN I GROW UP I’D DO, WHAT DO?!”

        And they’ll all take to social media to pump themselves with copium through memes and bitch to the high heavens pretending anyone gives a shit about what they’re saying. Not like that isn’t happening now.
