The social media reach is what really changed things. during the actual half time it was the normal 133m that it always has bene.

which is exactly why the NFL went ahead with it, despite the backlash. at the end of the day, he was the most lucrative option.

It would be nice if the article gave some context for that number. What was the previous record? What kind of numbers do Superbowl half-time shows usually do?

I didn’t watch the superbowl at all, and don’t even remember who was playing. Since Bad Bunny is hated by assholes, though, I wish him the best.

How many of those were rednecks hate-watching it?

Hate watching is watching, and if they're redeemable there was a positive message for them

I guess I'm with the half of humanity that didn't see it, but colour me impressed, it's a small glimmer, but one none the less.

I mean one assumes there's some repeat viewing in there but yeah, die fucking mad, chuds.

Dodged another bullet I see.

Maybe most watched. But honestly, imho there were much better shows in the past e.g. Katy Perry.

You're going to really lose your shit when you find out what country made Star Trek.
