 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.
