What a slap in the face. Maher and MAX can eat shit.
I saw a clip of this moron for the first time a week or two ago.
The entire segment was him saying that genocide against native peoples was justified because they too had violence present in their societies. Of course, the overwhelming majority of complex life on earth include violence in their behavior repetoire.
So per this dipshit, you’re morally justified in wiping out complex life.
This dude is the textbook definition of a reactionary centrist: so comfortable with his entrenched wealth that he’ll gladly sell out anyone who is getting stomped by the system that he benefits from.
Which is why I advocate eating the rich, we should have started decades ago
Bill Maher is the smug “liberal” elite that I think conservatives think all educated democrats are. He thinks he’s the smartest person in the room, has consistently bad takes and just generally sucks. He is all but the definition of smug. He thinks he’s George Carlin but is not
This.
I cannot tolerate him. It’s the conceited, condescending, arrogant attitude.
I loved when Bill Burr and Seth MacFarlane put him in his place.
People like Maher is why blue collar Americans hate liberals.
During my “libertarian” phase I was trying to get into him. I figured out pretty quickly that he isn’t well researched and his only response to anything he disagreed with is condescension and pessimistic sarcasm.
Exactly. He’s stoned off the scent of his own flatulence
On cable as long as you had a DVR you could skip every commercial. With streaming, ads are baked into the experience and commercials can be made unskippable. It sucks.

Aint it great when paying gets you a worse experience.

Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem.
You can see it here live. OP’s problem is not the price but that the service is shit, and the only solution you can see in this thread is piracy.
From 2013 to 2020 I didn’t have bittorrent installed anywhere, and paid for Netflix, NowTV, and Crunchyroll. Then the enshittification kicked in, and now most of what I watch is from bittorrent.
God I despise that little neoliberal worm.
Reminds me of how when my kids finish watching a decent-quality kids show on Prime or YouTube, the algorithm will try to autoplay absolute pablum like Baby Shark, Cocomelon, or some other trash. It’s like it deliberately chooses the most basic mind-numbing schlock available.
Reminds me of the time I finished watching a stick figure fight video as a kid, went to take a shower without realizing autoplay was a thing and came back to snow white hentai
The algorithms prioritize things that other users spend a lot of time watching, not relevant or healthy content. Just addictive slop. It’s such a major failing of our institutions that this practice hasn’t been regulated away.
pablum
schlock
Hey thanks, I learned 2 new words today :)
dude baby shark is a time.machine. With baby shark playing 1 year feels like 10. I have PTSD from it. Not even over reacting, If I hear baby shark I start screaning “turn it off!!! turn it off!!”
They rely on people getting up to take a shit after Last Week Tonight to juice those Bill Maher numbers
Does it autoplay or something?
In my experience, yes
To be fair I can see the leap. Bill Maher made HBO’s political arm for a long time…
Now he is just a tired old dip shit (instead of just a dip shit)
You can turn off the autoplay. It still minimizes the credits to show you other shows.
Should be renamed things you may absolutely hate
Would prefer to never have to see his eminently punchable face again, but truth’s a good start I guess 🤷
Hulu instead shows you the latest episode of a serial show, hopefully there isn’t massive spoilers
I’m more surprised it doesn’t fail to load. Fuck Hulu and their shitty player.

What?
It’s recommending Bill Maher because they watched Last Week Tonight.
Bill Maher sucks. Last Week Tonight fucks.
Most people watching Last Week Tonight are not going to also be Bill Maher fans.

I wish they’d let us hide shows like you can hide channels on YouTube
You can’t hide channels on YouTube without a 3rd party addon. YouTube kept suggesting me videos from channels I think unsubscribed to until I did that.
To stop YouTube from suggesting a specific channel, follow these steps:
- Open YouTube on your device.
- Hover over a video from the unwanted channel on your homepage or sidebar.
- Click the three dots that appear next to the video title.
- Select “Don’t recommend channel” from the dropdown menu
That doesn’t stop it for me.
Maybe try opening the yt app on your tv amd doing it through that UI. Could be your desktop browser’s anti-tracking is messing it up.
I only use yt though a web browser or through Grayjay. I don’t even have a smart tv. If the 3rd party antitracking stuff is messing things up, I’ll fix it with other 3rd party stuff.
Well it seems like that’s not working for you lol
No, the 3rd party blocker is working just fine. Before that, I would select “Not Interested” or “Don’t recommend this channel” and it would remove certain channels for a while, but eventually the algo decided that I wanted to see those “high engagement” channels.
It’s another HBO-sponsored newstainment show focusing on politics. Don’t get me wrong, fuck Bill Maher, I understand why you’re bothered, but from a programming standpoint it absolutely makes sense that this would be the next aligned recommendation.
Nice try, Bill Maher
Legacy format. You should be able to fully block suggestions you’re not only not interested in but that make your stomach turn. We obviously have the tech to have more sophisticated suggestions now.
You should be able to fully block suggestions you’re not only not interested in but that make your stomach turn.
EXACTLY! It’s like they WANT me to associate one of if not THE best show on the platform with nausea and seething resentment!
If you love Gandhi, you’re gonna looove Hitler!!!
Ghandi loved Hitler, so how could his fans not?
Yes! And there’s no, “Thumbs Down,” or, “Not Interested,” option, eo you can’t make him go away! Every fucking time I watch Last Week Tonight I have to see this smug dipshit’s stupid face.
I’m confused. Is it Bill Maher or just the concept of “You may also like” in general that you take exception to?
It’s Bill Maher and them continuing to try to push his stupid show after hundreds of failed attempts.
I don’t really have anything against a “you may like” function that DOESN’T insist on the same bullshit recommendation for over a decade of me rejecting it…
I wouldn’t even credit them with that much thought. It’s far more likely that it’s simply “you watched late-night political comedy talk show, so here’s another late night political “comedy” talk show.”
don’t tell me what I might like, don’t tell me what kinda day to have!!!
I’m jumping into downvote pool but yolo - I kind of like Bill Maher. I don’t agree with him on everything, let’s say I disagree with like 30% of his points. But rest of it is kind of on point? And that’s fine, I don’t have to agree with people on everything. Actually that’s one of the points I liked from him - to learn to disagree. In today’s polarized world that’s a surprisingly refreshing idea. On the other hand I fundamentally disagree with him on Covid-19. So yeah. Also I find myself laughing at his jokes quite a lot, he has good writers imo
I think I fall in the same camp of agreeing with a good chunk of his points while disagreeing with others and I even have laughed at many of his jokes. And I’m totally fine with that for people I enjoy watching. However, what turned me off of Bill Maher a decade ago was his overall manner and attitude. He just started coming across as arrogant, obnoxious, smarmy, and untimately unkind, even when I agreed with him, which I did not enjoy. It was much in contrast to other satirists who may have mocked people, never felt like they were out to denigrate. Maybe his content has changed, but I haven’t noticed.
I haven’t paid him much attention the last few years but that’s always been how I’ve felt about him.
Even if he’s wrong half the time, at least he thinks for himself. That’s a quality I respect in people, which is sadly lacking these days. People are right about his arrogant attitude though. Probably why I stopped paying attention to him.
delete your opinion loser /s
I used to be a Bill Maher fan (like in my teens) his smugness was really off-putting though so I ignored them.
Religulous would have been more fun if he wasn’t such a prick in it. His outro was annoying AF.
Bill Burr said he was on the side of the student protestors calling for an end to the Palestinian genocide. Then Bill Maher said (I’m paraphrasing) that it’s the same as being pro-Hamas. Fuck Bill Maher.
Turns on VPN for Brazil. yt-dlp the weekly episode. Place on Jellyfin media server. Rejoice.
Where is yt-dlp finding full episodes?
They post them to you tube after they air but they are region locked. Just find a vpn in South America and you can watch it (or download it)
Oh, interesting. This is the first I’ve heard of that sort of thing happening on YouTube. I know other platforms have different stuff in different regions. Netflix, etc. But I didn’t consider that a show would post full stuff for just non-US regions.
Thanks for the details.
