Reddit is a giant echo chamber, and many times one that holds minority opinions/views.

Yeah this is wilder than Pokémon fans thinking their boycotting on Reddit will affect sales numbers lol

I think people gave a negative image of Qatar and the background of the cup

No joke, when people can now watch 2 games at the same time it must be easy to smash old records.

You could do that for a long time already. The world doesn't care about injustice affecting others, as long as they themselves are fine and dandy.

I think there's a sub where you can extol your virtues.

People do that?
Display250 t1_iyurdz6 wrote
I do. I know people who do. If they're being played at the same time, you can watch one game and catch the gist of game flow and goals easily on the second.

The amount of people who do that are rounding errors

I don’t know if u can take fifa as a credible source anymore. Lots of people here in Germany boycotted watching it.
cujukenmari t1_iyku5x7 wrote
The figures they're referencing are from credible sources like Nielsen, Barb etc who gather data on television viewing habits around the world. They obviously left out Germany in this little blurb as it isn't one of the examples with record viewership. However Germany is a blip on the radar in the grand scheme of things. Less than 1% of the worlds population lives there.

Germany was probably the only participating country where people actively boycotted it.

Well atleast now they whole of Germany won’t have to watch and the world don’t have to listen to Germany to try and give us a lesson on political issues LOL
