This fucked with me a bit. Al Jazeera have 15million subscribers. Even less than two years ago, they had videos getting tens of millions of views. Now, everything has dropped off a cliff since then. Most of it sits around 5-15k, but the shit about JD Vance, or Israel, or Big Tech? 1.6k, 1.9k. There’s outliers, stuff the mainstream media is talking about international students under Trump, that’s got 57k. But I’m terrified to say we’re watching the suppression of independent media, right in front of us. Holy fucking shit.

    I mean NGL they used to be pretty unbiased for quite a while which was very odd considering they have direct ties to Qatar. I can’t speak for their recent coverage though and there’s probably something to be said about them falling out of favor.
