Eric Siu compares podcast interview viewership: Kamala Harris's Call Her Daddy episode got around 700,000 views while Donald Trump's Joe Rogan interview reached over 40 million. He discusses YouTube suppression claims, audience polarization, and Trump's brand strength.
Did you see Kamala Harris' podcast views versus Trump's podcast views? No. Okay, so Kamala Harris did an interview with Call Her Daddy, so she got 700,000 views, and then Trump did Rogan, and I think is now over 40 million views. Everyone was trying to search for the Trump Joe Rogan podcast and it wasn't coming up. YouTube claims that it was because too many people reported it, and so they just made it invisible, and that's what tends to happen. I don't know if I buy that, but even if though it got censored, he still has over 40 million views versus 700,000. Our point of saying all this is, oh, we, we support Kamala Harris or Trump. No, it's more so Trump's brand is just really strong. And I think he's got like this rabid fan base behind him. And so when you've built like this cult following, the numbers reflected at the end of the day. His brand is polarizing. Yes. And polarizing gets views.
