This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

A growing number of americans don't read newspapers. They get their news from online influencers. The right dominates the online ecosystem. (lemmy.world)

Feels weird to include Noah and Carlson but not include Jon Stuart, Stephen Colbert, or John Oliver.

Maybe because Jon Stuart, Stephen Colbert, and John Oliver don't currently host any "online shows"?

[–] finitebanjo@piefed.world 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

John Oliver's show regularly uploads segments to YT for free viewing, though. It often hits the trending list.

[–] QualifiedKitten@discuss.online 1 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, but that may not count as an "online show" since the full episodes aren't available on the platforms they were looking at.
