[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 5 months ago (1 child) And i guess the 2.5M$ are campaign donations that came from a link attached to the youtube video? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago* (1 child) Not really? Here’s the interview. People just went and donated on their own. Edit: I just double checked the video is at 10 million views. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Peekashoe@lemmy.wtf 4 points 5 months ago (1 child) Strange, I wonder why it shows 7.5m views for me (5 hours after you saw 10m). I wonder if Youtube gives different view counts by region, which would be...interesting. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (1 child) Maybe I fucked up and read subscribers? The mobile page had 10 mil where it looked like views just now, expanding the info says 7.4 mil. Either way it’s a fuck ton more than the 2-3 mil they’d have had if they just aired it. (Gotta be honest it’s not Talarico’s best.) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago* You did.
