        Oprah used to have a more hardcore fan base than Musk’s ever was; that would have muddered you in the streets for saying that.

        It’s amazing.

        But she is the kind of person who looks at another’s abject poverty and says “I can make a buck off that.”, and then convinces everyone she’s amazingly generous for having given fifteen cents on the buck.

          I remember catching her show back in the day and every time being disgusted by the way she’d exploit people’s emotions for a bumper… like clockwork she’d say something manipulative then have a camera zoom in on the guest bawling followed by Oprah’s “AND WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK”!

          Then cue the trained seal audience applause (but tbf I’ve been in produced audiences since and always played along)

    How the fuck does he still have any media presence? What kind of idiot is even listening to anything he has to say in 2024? It’s been at least a decade since he was even remotely relevant to anything.

      I deleted/reset my YouTube account awhile ago and his podcast was default autoplay content along with Lex Friedman, JRE, Petersen, Aussie tabloid news channels, the rest of the grifterverse until I told it to fuck off.
