Given there are unfortunately some people on here posting the Leftist talking points that “only 6 million” total people watched the TPUSA show live, I’ll repeat this from another thread:
6 of us where I was were watching it over the air broadcast with an antenna. We would not have counted in any “streaming” numbers and we also weren’t a “Nielsen Family” that day to count in any ratings.
Large family or friend gatherings that watched it would have only counted as “1” view if they used the streaming services. Same issue if a number of restaurants and other establishments that showed the TPUSA show on using stream had like 20, 30, 40, 50 or more people present and watching, that would count as only one “live view” in the streaming count...and it was shown in a lot of restaurants and establishments across the country, as well as in homes with large gatherings of friends and family. And some of them could have also possibly been using cable, satellite, or even antenna broadcasts to show it which would not come up as a “view” count anywhere.
It had about 6 million live views on TPUSA’s official YouTube channel alone. So those claiming “it had only 6 million viewers” are obviously incorrect, as that does not count the multiple other YouTube accounts also live streaming it, the live streams on multiple other video platforms and multiple accounts such as on X, Rumble, Facebook. Also streamed on multiple paid and unpaid subscription services such as Daily Wire, OAN, NTD, and NND. Also carried on multiple over the air / cable / satellite channels such as TBN, CHARGE!, and RAV.
Given the multiple diverse methods to be able to view it, some that can be measured directly and others not, and also not knowing how many people were behind each individual “view”, I don’t know how you could get an accurate measure. But it is safe to say it was substantially more than 6 million, since a single source had that many live views alone, and even a substantial number of those “views” on that source alone were more than one person.
That is a seriously low bar.
I do not know a single person who knew who the BadBunny was before he was “Selected”
and I know a lot of diverse people.
I will admit that the diverse people I know are almost all above 30
Let me repost this expert without the gibberish - sorry about that. I should have noticed the “coding” for the pics showed up in the text:

*excerpt*, not “expert” *sigh* LOL
Now this actually talented guy in a bad Bad bunny costume,
his real name Leo Moracchioli
would have been 99 and 44/100% better
the only reason bad butty has any ratings is because all the kids think it’s cool to align with a ‘rebel’- if they weren’t so brain dead, bad butty wouldn’t have a chance against real artists
The TPUSA show was pretty lame though.
Almost as lame as imbeciles who watch the Stupor Bowl and think they’re serving humanity by clicking away to some honky schlock during halftime, when they should have shunned the NFL altogether years ago.
It’s been anti-American and antichrist trash for years now.
Agreed.
It is at least somewhat significant given Apple was the top promoter of Bad Bunny for the halftime show and the TPUSA show artists (and related music) overtook him...and the songs aren’t even new songs.
its a little hilarious that we now consider singing about strippers and hoes as family friendly. It’s all relative I guess lol
