    I wonder if they ended up making more money for the suspension. I haven’t ever watched a Jimmy Kimmel monologue, but I watched that one. And I would be open to watching more in the future. Just because of how relevant it is.

      I watched, but I have zero interest in watching him again. It was basically just comedy slop, the only joke that landed for me was the “I agreed to read this statement, to renew your subscription…”

      But based on the fact I never would have watched him, and some people would probably find him funny, it’s got to be a net positive - 6 days for global exposure? That’s the holy Grail of marketing

        This is not a net positive. It’s some damage control but people are going to remember that they rolled over for facism and not renew their subscriptions.

        The extra views Jimmy Kimmel will have this week will not recover the lost revenue from the people who cancelled their subscriptions and won’t return.
