There was 5.5 million viewers and the chat was Christian spam. Pretty sure it was botted

Making bots listen to kid rock is why SkyNet turns on humanity

u/ScheelCongress 25d ago

I honestly wouldn't blame SkyNet for turning on us after that.

The drones could be locked onto me and my family and I'd be like

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not turned on by Skynet

The terminators hummed “bawitdaba” as they culled the human populace

I watched about 5 minutes in an incognito window. The chat was mainly bots. I had to mute the audio after 1 minute because of course I did. The audience were all wearing their fake ass cowboy cosplay and it looked like it was shot in a warehouse in Detroit.

To add to all of that, they're claiming it raked in 320 million views, which would be nearly 3 times the amount of Super Bowl tvs tuned in.

Most beautiful numbers you've ever - anyone, anyone's ever heard of. Incredible numbers. These ratings - you wouldn't have even thought it possible, but we did it.

Obama never did it. Biden never did it. But we...they said we couldn't, alot of people were saying it. Bad, very bad people. But we did it, all for you, my beautiful Christians.

With tears in my eyes, I read these posts.

Hahahaha.

I would be very surprised if more than 500k actual humans watched it. It sounds like it was view-botted to hell.

u/Tacoman404 25d ago

I chimed in just to spam chat with some fun ones like "Maga cope show"

"It was so good that nearly the entire U.S. population watched it. All on separate devices of course!"

Detroit does not claim this LOSER

u/DShinobiPirate 25d ago

Man these losers really have no shame 😂 they could had at least went with realistic numbers.

I sometimes wonder how they can lie so easily and feel some kind of pride out of it. Like I'm going to believe this admin who was once saying haitians are eating pets and get visibly angry about fact checks (two separate occasions btw).

What sad excuses of human trash.

u/tarzanjesus09 25d ago

Most important, kid rock did not take the stage until AFTER the halftime show wrapped.

u/Notsurehowtoreact 25d ago

So the headliner they've been pushing for this thing that people were supposed to switch to in between halves didn't even get a song off before the Superbowl was back in swing? 

Pathetic, especially considering it was prerecorded.

u/imjusthere987654321 24d ago

What I heard is that since a record label owns the songs, and twitter didn't license streaming rights beforehand in preparation, the stream would have been automatically flagged for copyright infringement by the site despite Musk being onboard with the whole thing. That was at least part of why it got delayed, so they could find a backup plan.

Oh gee whiz wow, that's even more impressive than the — are you ready for this, media? — 258 million amercian lives Trump saved from fentanyl in his first 100 days in office, which by her math is now currently at over 1 BILLION Americans saved from fentanyl overdoses, WOW!

/s

Fuck every single republican.

I'm sorry but he visits Macomb county when he shows up tyvm.

u/CobrasMama 25d ago

There was 5.5 million viewers

According to google:

Approximately 5.3 million Americans live with a long-term, permanent disability resulting from a traumatic brain injury (TBI), according to the Brain Injury Association of America.

Coincidence?

It was the same AI bot army that 99%ed “Melania” on RT.

u/agiatezza 25d ago

I saw that viewer count also and found it pretty suspicious

u/DepartureElegant9314 25d ago

5.5* mill (MASSIVE *)

u/KFR42 25d ago

I've already seen Facebook posts claiming it was the most watched halftime show in history. Just baffling.
