His first show brought in over 26 million “video views,” which is a Twitter metric that records a view as anyone who watches a video for more than 2 seconds. While the metric’s reliability has been questioned, it has nevertheless declined significantly since the show’s launch, with Carlson’s most recent show only getting 3.8 million video views, marking a drop of 86 percent.

I believe his Twitter show episodes are around 10 minutes long.

Knowledge Fight has been deconstructing them the last few weeks and they seem pretty short on content so far.

Well, Tucker doesn't have all those Fox writers and researchers to fall back on anymore.

From the very beginning of his career, he's never actually known anything about, well, anything.

He's good at faking it, but that only works for the short term. After that it will be the same repetitive talking points.

Oh, good to know, thanks! I was curious but didn't want to accidentally boost his engagement by checking.

Not that he ever had content, just sealioning and agitprop.
