I mean that's one way to look at it.
The way I look at it is this:
18000 is approximately 118 times 152. Is our population 118 times greater than that of the UK? That's why it's gross.

I am 99% certain I walked past him near Traffalgar Square. I just gave him the "are you who I think you are look" and he scurried off.

Did something else happen or is this because of the same thing that lost him his first book deal?
Edit: I ask because I swear his typical supporters didn't care about that and he simply PR'd his way out of it in FB to them.

These alt right fuckers are all giant cowards, Richard Spencer got confronted at a gym by a black woman and he flat out denied that yes he was Richard Spencer, known monster.
Pretty sure being a little bitch is a prerequisite for being an alt righter
That and demanding an "open dialogue" when they don't even have the prerequisite knowledge necessary to discuss any of the stuff they obsess over.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
How much does the average book sell nowadays?

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
One dirty little secret about a lot of big-name non-fiction titles is the author will often buy up a lot of copies to ensure it becomes a best-seller, so these numbers might actually be worse than they appear.

Then I sincerely hope that every copy sold is one that he bought so he makes a huge loss and possibly has to declare bankruptcy
Holy shit I thought that was a joke, but that's an actual thing that exists!!
Is it really Lucky's??
Yup, I wouldn't be surprised if that was him, it's basically a pre-requisite to be a cowardly rat bastard when you spew hate. Would only take one person to point out what he did and he'd be mobbed too.

The Mercers are pieces of shit.
Happens to me every few months even if I don't click on some right-wing b.s.
Like this week they started showing me "SJW gets owned" type videos for no goddamn reason. I don't want that shit in my recommendations, I don't know if the sheer amount of right wing nutters on YouTube means you are more likely to get these little shits after watching anything even tangentially related to politics.

152 and 18,000 is pitiful, but great that so few have bought his books.
Now I wonder how many have pirated it... And I wonder how many bought the books not as supporters but to see what he is rambling about... And I wonder how many can't read and are waiting for the audio book...

Might also be a reflection on just how small the bubble is.

YouTube should honestly have a feature that lets you block channels.

Its incredibly poor considering his following before all the backlash. So when you compare it to what it COULD have been it's fucking tiny.
18k for the US population is extremely low. Still about 18,000 more than it should have, but it seems like he's lost his audience more or less.

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
"Great as toilet paper!"
I wouldn't have talked to him
So long as Chuck Tingle can achieve greater success with his porno fanfic satire than books like this, we're not in sad territory. This embarrassment to the LGBTQ community is safely long forgotten, now that the alt-right news cycle doesn't even have the patience to promote him after an instance of taking being a pathetic alt-right edgelord attention whore to its inevitable conclusion.

Wonder how many of the 152 are just from Americans living or visiting over here?
I lol'ed. Much like how I always react in regards to Milo's existence. People give him too much power. He's not a nazi AKA someone like Richard Spencer who needs to have his veneer of civility removed and his hate exposed so he can be immediately fucked off out of society - he's just a troll who thrives on attention. Ignoring him or laughing AT him, instead of with him, is the way to make him go away, not lashing out or being angered by what he says. And going by those book sales numbers, that's exactly what's happening, so no worries and back to the lols.

Is the book even out in the UK? I just went onto Amazon and says it dispatches from the US.

Well would you look at that, denying people a platform to spread their message makes their message heard by fewer people
Whoda thunk it

Please.
Not just this, but sometimes my recommendations are all a mix of videos I've seen and videos on channels I never want to watch and they sit there for awhile.
this is honestly the most annoying part of Youtube having every video having an opaque URL. would make it much easier to block out the annoying fucks if they all had a subdirectory that you could filter for.

Tfw when Milo realizes his fans are all 11 year old trolls on Twitter who need to ask their mum for lunch money.
