That's quite the conjecture. What are you basing that on?
Conjecture? Those are typical views for a Mr beast video. It’s not that hard for a YouTube trending video to get to a hundred million. This is the most cultural relevant and iconic podcast episode in history. It’s got 1/3 of that while being shadow banned in search on both YouTube and google. It’s not conjecture. It would easily be 100+
First two days on Spotify it wasn’t on home page. You had to search for it, even on Spotify. Definite shadowban
Well, it is conjecture if don't have an empirical basis to justify the numbers. But I certainly accept the basis you've provided for your conjecture. It's possible that it would have gotten 100 million views if not for the censorship you claim. But you can't conflate your conjecture and assumptions with objective fact. Simply claiming it would have gotten 100 million views, and pointing to some other popular channel that gets 100 million views is not a basis for asserting it as a fact.
You see what you want to see. You can't fathom that Goog doesn't align with Trump? You can't imagine that they boost content they like and dampen content they don't? Seriously?
Wow, that's an amazing extrapolation from the basic question I actually asked. I'm gonna get you a Jump to Conclusions mat for Christmas. Making an empirical assertion demands supporting evidence. A specific number was thrown out, and I'm just asking for the empirical basis for that number. Is it based on any data? Or is it just some large number that was plucked out of the air?
