Jon Stewart’s Apple TV Plus show ends, reportedly over coverage of AI and China - eviltoast

TLDR: Apple wants to keep china happy, Stewart was going after china in some way, Apple said don’t, Stewart walked, the show is dead.

Not surprising at all, but sad and shitty and definitely reduces my loyalty to the platform. Hosting Stewart seemed like a real power play from Apple, where conflict like this was inevitable, but they were basically saying, yes we know, but we believe in things and, as a big company with deep pockets that can therefore take risks, to prove it we’re hosting this show.

Changing their minds like this is worse than ever hosting the show in the first place as it shows they probably don’t know what they’re doing or believe in at all, like any big company, and just going for what seems cool, and undermining the very idea of a company like Apple running a streaming platform. I wonder if the Morning Show/Wars people are paying close attention.

    But, I have an answer. I care about their well being and not their economic status. I don’t care if they are making more money or not

    These two things are incompatible

    You falsely assume globalist ideals are the only right way to live and I would rather care for those immediately around me who have an impact on my life.

    And this is evil

      Oh my God you are a moron. I am just so sorry, I thought you were capable of complex thought there.

      Which I guess was my mistake, I did see your other comments.

      …Evil. That’s funny, you have definitely truly never met actual evil. Trust me it’s much worse than loving those close to you and caring for others as much as you can, without over dedication of mental space to those you can’t. And as annoying as you are I actually hope you continue to never have to deal with evil, I hope the world is better and you get to remain a protected smarmy dick. Evil is truly repugnant in a way you apparently can not actually comprehend and it’s better if it stays that way.
