  1. If TYT offered shares of ownership I would gladly invest. I don’t know what the laws are for sub $5000 ownership offerings but I bet you could generate a few million if it were an investment opportunity. You just need to get enough traction for sustained period on multiple platforms.

  2. This is capitalism for you.

    If I made a shitty product I am not going to advertise it on a network that will talk shit about me. However if I understand it correctly one of the objections is the type of language used in the broadcast which is short sighted.

    As for Ajit Pai, ignoring the fact that he was appointed after a unanimous vote by the senate (guess who was the independent senator from Vermont at the time), he is just cashing in. If I had the opportunity I would do the same.

    You only have one life to live, have fun.

  5. BEE BEE? It’s Bebe (French for baby) ewwwwww. I always found that brand pedo. The ads were gross. One that sticks in my head is a bus ad with a girl who looked maybe 14, in the back of a limo with a man on each side, one with his hand on her inner thigh and the other, pulling her face over for a kiss, the whole scene was wrong.

  7. David Muir is a sad case. He’s from Syracuse, NY. Got into media by writing into WTVH, the local affiliate at 13 ’til he got an internship. An impressive feat. Now he does sub-par news and ABC. Once watched him do a report on how much each percentage bracket pays in federal tax. Went all the way to the “top 55%”. Never once mentioned the amount of money people in each percentage bracket actually make. The worst numbers are numbers without context. People in the 50%-55% range make like $28,000 a year. The whole report was designed to trick middle class and poor people into thinking everyone else isn’t paying their fair share, and that the rich are good, friendly job creators. It was Fox News with a better haircut and without the bigotry.

    That’s my rant

    1. I will do much better than just give you a link to a single show… I give you the power to find EVERYTHING posted on any single day, with a single URL. Just go into your browser and reduce the TYT URL to that day’s date.

      For instance you will find the 4/25 “telethon” alternate-post-game along with everything else posted that day here:

      https://tytnetwork.com/2017/04/25/

      Works for any date that content was posted.

      You are welcome.

  9. So… no advertiser jackass in the world has family? Everyone I know, when a commercial comes on they hop to another channel and watch that for like 1 minute, then change back, if the commercials are still on they swap back, and repeat until there’s no commercials.

    Meanwhile I can’t watch a show online without having 5 commercials every 15 minutes, and 3 of those commercials are the exact same. Hell once it was just the James Jameson Whiskey short version, the James Jameson Whiskey long version, and the James Jameson Whiskey short version again just to make sure that I would never buy that product.

    I’ve seen that commercial where the eagle takes the barrel 40 times minimum because I was binging shows. and I’ll probably never drink that whiskey because it annoyed the hell out of me to no end. So you know what I do? I use an ad blocker. And then the ad blocker stops the stream, and I can’t actually watch the shows, so I turn the ad blocker off, and then I’m watching Acne commercials up the ass while someone just got shot and I want to know what happens. So, at this point what I do is I turn the ad blocker on as soon as the first commercial is almost over, and then the ads are gone, turn it off, back to fullscreen, and it’s 1,000 times less annoying than sitting in a room with people who just go from channel to channel every commercial break because they hate commercials so much they’d rather watch almost ANYTHING else.

    Do these people not have families? And someone might argue “You gotta have the ad blocker off man you’re destroying the internet!”

    Well maybe they should have thought of that before they started having auto playing video ads in web pages, and corporate establishment shills that I dont’ want to get a damn penny of my browsing anyway. This time that I went back to ad blocks, wasn’t the first time. I swore off adblocks for a while, and I stopped using them again years earlier. You know what got me to go to adblocks again? Well right now I have shitty internet and the ads are so high quality (I stream everything at SD quality now adays because of bandwidth constraints) that an ad would take 5 minutes to get through because it’s playing in HD quality and I have more than 1 person watching shows, and the advertisements aren’t the same quality as my preferences. So I can’t even watch the damn shows. So they forced me into blocking their ads. Hulu we actually pay for no ads and we have Netflix. WE can’t pay $100 a month just to avoid ads though. The model only goes so far.

    So one last final bit to this rant. These are the things that made me get into ad blocking in the first place. Headache flashy ads, risk of virus ads, but I might have dealt with those… no the thing that made me have to get on adblocks regularly was that I couldn’t use the internet. Why? Cause so many random websites had audio turned on ads, and so sometimes I’d unmute my computer to listen to Young Turks or something (long before I was a subscriber) and somewhere in my 20 tabs, 1-4 of them were talking to me, and confusing the fuck out of me, and for that reason alone I just went nuclear on ads.

    Advertisers, you’re fucking up. You’re screwing yourselves. Your college degree is starting to turn to shit, quit wiping your ass with it!
