Hey everyone, this is Leon from Prologue Projects.
On this week's subscriber only episode of 5-4, Peter, Reannon, and Michael are talking about
the biggest star on YouTube, Mr. Beast. Mr. Beast is a content creator who is all about breaking records and he may now have broken one he didn't want. Most famous YouTuber to be sued for sexual harassment or placed gender bias and violating the family and medical media.
This is 5-4, a podcast about how much the Supreme Court and this week only, Mr. Beast will suck. Welcome to 5-4, where we dissect and analyze the Supreme Court cases that have destroyed our civil rights, like Jeff Bezos destroying the Washington Post. I'm Peter, I'm here with Michael, hey everybody, and Reannon.
“Hey, there's a real bad Washington Post podcast, are we blaming Jeff Bezos for that?”
Well, it's embarrassing.
We are, yeah, obviously the post is sort of collapsing, subscriber-wise anyway, but they
have launched a podcast or like a series of podcasts, perhaps, and some clips have been circulating and their metrics are unreal, like you couldn't do this badly if you tried. The podcast has a blue sky account with eight followers, or at least it had eight followers yesterday. How is that even possible?
You were just saying some stats, Michael, you were like scrolling through the YouTube videos. Yeah, the YouTube videos, their view counts are like, like, their best videos are like 600 views that had one that was like 83 views in a month, 83 views. It was about birthright citizenship, which like should be, yeah, like that should be relatively topical and hot 85, 83 views, like how, how is it possible to get the views down, though,
“when you have the Washington Post resources, what's going on at the fucking post, dude?”
If you like, it's just one link somewhere on the Washington Post website to their podcasts, should get you more than 83 views. To say nothing of what it looks like, you know, like everybody's doing the video thing, I've noted a little more, but you look at the video, Ali, producer, Ali sent us some screenshots.
I'm looking at four white men in whatever the downgrade to like a Brooks Brothers without the jacket outfit, every single one of them can't tell him apart, can't tell him from Adam, and the lighting is horrible. There's these big random windows behind them, which they look like they're in the shitiest office space.
This is like the first thing you learn if you're on the video, the windows behind you,
because it, it fucks up your lighting, you're backlit, and also, yeah, it looks like they're in a hotel conference room, like the business center at the hill, you know what I mean? Yeah. God, it looks like shit. Yeah.
How are you getting lapt by the New York Times that badly in like the roundtable podcasts space? Yeah. Very bizarre. So, substantively, this podcast is like a bunch of center, right, white folks, or
something like that, sort of free press style, right, like sort of right wing stuff, trying to package itself as like sensible centrism, or even left to center thought. Just a few common sense people, would just agree with the Republican party about stuff, you know? Yeah.
We need you some video titles, okay, there we go. Weed isn't as harmless as you think to 189 views, the last we checked, ridiculous, pathetic. What the media got wrong during COVID, 282 views, by the way, the things that they think
“that the media got wrong are like, you should be worried about COVID, that sort of, they're”
not worried about people dying of COVID. Yeah. Right. Um, debunking the rich aren't paying their fair share, um, 418 views, and 33% increase. It's a honest video yet, folks.
California's get free diapers, but at what cost, don't, don't, don't, this one was ridiculous. Yeah. For your mental health, safe, dear listener, don't click into that one. It's just a short video. So I watched it and the conservatives think they're blowing your mind with like, but taxpayers
have to pay for it. Hey, folks, if you want to hear the rest of this episode, you're going to have to subscribe. This episode is one of our premium Patreon only episodes.
