Bixlee, The New Online Checkout Option150

this is the guy who can't get his wife wet right?

Tim Pool in the corner with a shotgun bout to paint the walls with beanie fabric, investigators will describe it only as “it looked like a muppet massacre in there”

danvargue.bsky.social87

Yo @bencollins.bsky.social are you guys still buying other fake news outlets?

Leaf~80

It's very funny that they tried to turn the money made by spewing bile toward funding their personal creative endeavours and found out that, no, they're still the untalented fucks that got drummed out of Hollywood. Nobody wants their art. All they want is someone to hate. lol, lmao

GC Rust48

This plus Tucker's paid subs not even clearing 8k and Infowars going dark? May is off to a great start!

Edward Havens34

Womp, and I cannot stress this highly enough, womp.

Trina's Technobabble31

Are we sure they are not just hanging out in his eyebrows?

Andrew S.29

things are pretty tight there, I heard Ben had to return his plank

julius caesarhands27

It's all fake, they've never had an organic audience large enough to sustain the massive right wing ecosystem. It's all propped up by wealthy people setting money on fire.

birdcat89.bsky.social26

I guess you could say his audience dried up

Disney Prime Video + ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ19

We are certain his Jonathan Majors action movie will turn it around.

shaunofthedead.bsky.social19

It's almost as if a Jewish man cultivating a racist fan base for years wasn't a sustainable business model.

Jay’s Art Corner13

Guess it’s hard to maintain your rage audience when you have all the levers of power.

Julius Steele12

I hear Alex Jones is hiring. Oh, wait...

Matthew D. Nielsen11

Wishing them a very merry bankruptcy 🥰

“Daily Wire 86es Half of its Staff”

Scott (from NerdSync)7

Is this an edited picture of his eyebrows or?

poondonkus6

this image is edited, right? I don't remember his eyebrows looking like that.

Jess6

Orban money is not coming in anymore.

Gloomy Gus 👂6

Zionism isn't a viable political ideology in America anymore.

Comerado6

Why are his eyebrows bigger every time I see him

Godless Communist Orc6

85% is an astonishing number, into the realm of skepticism. What would cause such a precipitous dropoff?

Betty💪6

But he was so relatable with kitchen table issues

Laminariales6

He's not even worth it as a puppet anymore. What a pathetic fate.

Kimtentional5

They next shiny new fascist comes along and suddenly you're just an old faded fascist from the past. 😥

Josh (he/they)5

Is there a reliable source for this?

To be fair, if your bot-farm shuts you off, have you really lost audience?

David Bailey4

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of folks. Also --- someone needs to tell Ben Shapiro that Groucho Marx called, and he wants his eyebrows back.

Judy Lee4

LIV Golf, Infowars, and now this? What else have I been (happily) missing?

Carl Feher4

Is fascism not selling anymore or did he just lose his dark money funding from right wing oligarchs?

Dwight Williams 🇨🇦4

"Go fash, lose your cash" seems to fit here.

jakeofnotrades.bsky.social3

Is this the merit-based society Ben promised?

Stitched3

When did Shapiro get Brezhnev eyebrows? 😅

One Piece is GOAT3

The only time I will be happy to hear about layoffs. Get fucked nerds!!

Bob B3

Awww, the poor Nazi asshole...

🔞Sky High Demon🔞3

Dark woke killed his astroturfed audience.

Adam Korengold3

Maybe they can get money from the info wars guy

Teaspoon3

As happy as I am to see this scumbag and his cohort eat shit, a big part of the reason for this is the right's descent into utterly depraved levels of gutter antisemitism which is going to have (and is already having) lots of terrible consequences.

Town E. 🫐3

Thankfully no journalists were harmed by this

Multitude Container2

Invisible hand of the free market, baby.

junkwarrior97.bsky.social2

He blew all of his money on those eyebrows

chucolawyer.bsky.social2

Lies and misinformation have a way of catching up with you, Benny boy!

Michael Samonek2

You mean the massive success of their entertainment division won't keep them in the black? The kids don't long for more seasons of Mr. Birchum?!

The Ephemeral Tao2

That's the funniest thing I've read all week. Couldn't happen to a more deserving gang of lowlife trash.

WanderWyrm (He/They) 🇵🇸2

Shocker, the real antisemites throw his ass under the bus as soon as he ceased to be useful.

SID Chip Vicious2

Hungarian bot views dried up?

Rachel 2

Hungary isn't covering the payroll anymore.

Declassify UAP2

The bad news: the audience gravitated to even more extreme content.

🔬godhatesyeast🔬2

setting all their money on fire producing all this terrible nazi bullshit definitely didn’t help www.imdb.com/list/ls52961...

Ryusuta2

Wait, 85% of it? That is insane! What's his Social Blade page; because now I'm curious!

bjkeefe86472

This does not seem correct. Community Notes under this same post on Tw are disputing it. Can you provide some links to support your numbers? (No one is disputing that some layoffs have occurred, or that Ben's audience is shrinking. Just the magnitudes.)

☀️what the bitch☀️2

Did you make his eyebrows 300% bigger before you posted that photo or

West is.. uhh.. fuck6

Also why they hate Soros so much. They think he's the one guy that does for liberals what their insane billionaires do for them

Alder Cheems3

Shapiro was losing traffic before the Hungarian election. MAGA was never a huge fan of him and every Republican under 45 is a groyper now.

FWIW, I trust arbitrary numbers selected for dramatic effect way more than I trust anything said by anyone associated with the Daily Wire.

rjbennett.bsky.social3

You could drive several trucks thru the loopholes that statement provides for them to essentially lie about how many are laid off.

taraander.bsky.social3

Yet given an opportunity to get specific about it, he doesn’t which makes me think it’s probably at least 40%.
