  they also donate heavily to the GOP, so they are partially responsible for getting themselves in this situation.

  Sadly if every performer took that approach, that might be the end of broadcast television. Which it might be already anyway.

    I sometimes sit with my dad who still watches broadcast tv. It’s dead already, my dude. A commercial break is about 10 commercials, eight of which are for prescription drugs. I once saw an entire commercial break that was nothing but prescription and OTC drugs. No insurance, no car or beer commercials, just wall to wall drugs. It’s insanity.

      I cancelled all of my streaming services a few years ago. I prefer cable, where I find I mainly watch the big four broadcast networks. I.e Fox, CBS, ABC, NBC. I’m not dealing with a million streaming services or figuring out which one I need to watch which show. I’ll just pirate those shows for that. My commercials aren’t as bad as yours, I’m guessing it’s region specific. I like the local news and some of the stupid prime time shit. If I’m going to stream or pirate something, I feel like I’m really committing to fully watching it. Cable is nice to have on in the background while I’m doing other stuff on my phone or computer. But I’m old so I’m used to it and I grew up with it. It has a certain charm. I suppose people who grew up with streaming services will not understand.

      Either way, it’s not trumps business to bully people with the FCC. But like everything else now, no one will stop him.

    If every performer took that approach, alternatives would become viable, and they could perform in those.

  Not been an American I don’t really know who he is but if he is as popular as seems to be the case I’m surprised that he didn’t move away from broadcast television anyway.

  A lot of comedians are doing extremely well on YouTube.

    For now. Trump is going to take another crack at breaking them up & I guarantee if successful he’ll get some form of control over YouTube’s content.

    I canceled my stuff over this and I don’t even watch him. I let them know it was because they are free speech abolitionists and capitulating to Trump. I’m also a huge Star Wars and Marvel fan, so this was a big deal to me to cancel.

    Its not about popularity at all. Its about the first amendment in the constitution that guarantees everyone a voice no matter how much someone doesn’t like it. As has been the case,so far this year though, the constitution is just so much toilet paper to the fuckfaces of the government.
