Today's depressing fact for every sane American: One America I can't in good conscience call this News Network has over a million subscribers. I really hope it's just a bunch of old lunes, but the fact that it's online tells me younger people are a bigger portion of their demographic.

a good chunk of these are probably just russian bots?

70 million russian bots voted for trump

In all seriousness tho, why is oann having a million subs shocking or surprising? Literally 70 million people voted for trump. Not all of those people are hapless oann types, but certainly a very large percentage. And those 70 million voters arent even the only potential viewers

Also, the internet is no longer as young as you think it is. Unless youre lumping 40-60 into "young". Especially in conservative conspiracy places

The vast majority of youtube viewers (assuming its youtube because of "subscribers" vs some other word) do not subscribe to anything, even channels they watch religiously. The overwhelming majority

YouTube will do all the work of knowing what you like to watch regardless. Twitter does not. Hell you dont even need an account on youtube for the algorithm to learn your shit.

If there is somewhere where you can check up on their subs I could do this. Its really not difficult if info is public. I don't know enough about what part of OAN you are referring to for this.

Its honeslty impressive how many people still throw "russian bots!" at literally everything. You could make the same basic statement without sounding like an idiot by just omitting the word russian. Bots exist. They arent all russian. And russia is not the source of american political problems. We do enough of our own disinformation campaigns.

Please note that i am not claiming russia did not/does not meddle in our politics and whatever.

And im stuck up because i only look at this topic as a form of self harm when i am not doing well instead of actually hurting myself. This leads to me being very abrasive and caustic here and I am honestly sorry for that.

"freedom of religion" doesn't mean your religious beliefs allow you to do anything. murder isn't allowed because of freedom of religion, for instance.

Every one of these points is correct and I didn't find it surprising at all, just disheartening. Other people peddling these conspiracy theories, like Steven Crowder as I pointed out earlier, have 5 million subs. OAN's sub count may grow.

I was just doom scrolling ignorant YouTube comments and getting depressed before I snapped myself out of it.

Given how Trump has been promoting OANN personally on social media for a while now that Fox has "betrayed" him I'm not surprised that it has trickled down through the right wing bubble and picked up a million followers or whatever.

His twitter is more unhinged than ever. And his pictures are still hilariously bad.

I looked up some of his cartoons because they are hilariously bad. The worst part was definitely his overt racism of drawing black women as more ugly and muscular than white women. That was pretty uncomfortable.

How is limiting people due to a pandemic any different from limiting people in case of fire risk?

I think the noticeability of the danger and immediacy of the danger are different.

The risk of the pandemic isnt something that is unknown to anyone at this point while a fire risk easily could be, and a fire could cause immediate death while the virus, though deadly to some groups, is still much less lethal.

More the first argument than the second one.

I also think requiring churches to follow fire codes is much more sensible in that the building itself isnt usually required for worship, at least nothing that would be impossible to work fire codes around. It isnt possible for worshipers to take communion at all if they cant meet.

Also with fire codes I think a lot of reasonable accommodations could be made by a religion pertaining them. There really arent any reasonable accommodations a religion could make that would still allow a religion to practice its rituals without actually congregating.

Once again I think religions should still not meet, but I dont think this is the same situation.

The specific NY gathering limit was pretty small wasnt it? I suppose I can google it

*googles*

Google is telling me 10 people. Given that some churches have hundreds of people at each service I dont think that is a reasonable request.

The Catholic Church was literally the party in that SCOTUS case seeking the injunction. So basically their message appears to be, we agree with the rules, but not with the ability of a secular authority to set them.
