I mean DeFranco is still good stuff, he’s just very on the nose about fascists being fascists. I think he still presents news in a factual way, while making it clear where the factual information stops and his feelings start.
I’m not sure where you’re getting the “subscribers count cut in half” because that just isn’t the case at al, he steadily trended upward then plateaued, but hasn’t experienced any significant drop in the past several years
Last I checked was several years ago, as the last US election was in 2019, I believe.
I was a daily viewer (on week days anyway) for a mighty grand stretch of time. I watched the occasional stream too. His view counts on every video, with few exceptions, were between 1 and 2.5 million and usually on the higher side around 1.6M views. Every day.
Then about 4 and a half to 5 years ago, his viewership dropped over a few months, and they started struggling to break the 1 million mark. 800k became the norm. My recollection is the same. He told anybody who wasn’t jazzed about his politics to leave, and I did.
If he’s doing well and managed to build himself back up, good for him. Maybe he had another growing up moment. I wish him the best, but I’ll continue to take my news from RSS now on.
