      Kind of shows that cancel culture isn't a thing, no?

          eh i feel like i've spent thousands of words (albeit newsletter words) on that issue. while there are elements of the CK situation (see my followup tweet) that are potentially interesting, those of us who have been covering online outrage for awhile more interested in small fries

          No, it shows that woke corporations can performatively "cancel" and deplatform Louis but his fans still want to watch regardless of the platform

          Sure, if all you care about are the biggest names in their fields. But there's also DJ Lubel, Shane Gillis, Steve Roggenbuck and the thousands of other artists, academics, etc. who you don't know about which according to this perspective don't exist.

          Or it shows that it’s losing its influence because people are pushing back.

          I think it was prob always the case that famous people accused of stuff would have a lot of remaining loyal fans

          No, he lost TV/film deals and has had other professional fallout. So the "canceling," in his case at least, has been by gatekeepers like studios, which certainly has impacted his career. He's fortunate that he can do stand up, which to large extent doesn't rely on gatekeepers

          Not really. It just shows that it can in some cases be ineffective. Popularity can be a great defense.

          And besides, the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of an attempt to "cancel" someone is not indicative of the existence of a culture that tries to do so. Cancel culture is "a thing"; it just doesn't always succeed.
