As my Puerto Rican cousins say, WEPA!!!
just for fun here are those numbers on a bar chart in a spreadsheet - looks like the graphic is decently honest in its depiction
you da bomb
Ohhhh so that’s why people were playing football at the bad bunny concert lol.
I might be wrong, but doesn’t every increase since the big Rihanna spike* in 2023 correspond with overall population increase or less?
Either way, the main point that the fascists were laughably wrong about nobody tuning in of course very much stands 😁
*I was in a band called Big Rihanna Spike. We mostly played Rage Against the Machine covers and punk songs about Bahamian cuisine.
…punk songs about Bahamian cuisine.
You’ve piqued my interest.
The viewership growth between 2023 and 2026 is 11.9%. What population grew more than 11.9% in 3 years?
This is so beautiful. Nationalist company owned by a bunch of billionaires made tons of money by selling their exploitative game to the leftists. Makes you realize there’s still hope. For the billionaires to get away with raping the planet.
Wait, that’s 38% of the US population. That’s actually way less than I would have expected with how much it’s hyped online.
I mean getting more than a 3rd of the population to watch anything at the same time is pretty much impossible at this point. The Superbowl in the US is the closest thing to a unifying cultural moment but the monoculture still continues to fade.
The most shared cultural event in the US is sitting on a couch, eating junk food and watching ads for 4 hours.
I didn’t say it was good lol
I wonder if that counts those of us who watched it after the fact on the official YouTube posting?
That actually seems really high to me.
It typically costs to watch it. I saw it live from Nashville’s local Hispanic channel though, only by chance did I see it, and thought it would go off right when the game started. I still have no idea how they got the Super Bowl for free.
Curious how those viewing numbers are tallied nowadays, given over-the-air, cable, DVR boxes, streaming, digital DVRs, overseas, etc.
They track our phones and get a count of how many phones are near a TV or streaming service with it on.
When was the last time republicans didn’t complain about the Halftime show. Fucking seriously
Or about anything most Americans have enjoyed since 2008.
I feel like these numbers only mean something if you weight them by the superbowl viewership.
Its not like 120 million people are turning on the tv just for the halftime show. Looking up online, it does seem like several million extra people do tune in for the halftime show, but also the numbers track pretty closely to the superbowl views - https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/super-bowl-2026-watched-seahawks-patriots-viewership/b0c14c1c15663b99ffd35db9
