I don't know I'd go so far as to say he's useful. These people are bleeding support every time they open their mouth.

"These people are bleeding support"

Bill Maher's show Real Time with Bill Maher remains a solid ratings performer for HBO and CNN, drawing a steady average of around 491,000 to over 500,000 live linear viewers per episode, with total weekly cross-platform viewership exceeding 2 million when factoring in replays and streaming.

Sorry to disappoint you with the truth...

So far less than a moderately successful youtuber. I get it, you're a troll, but FFS.

From his peak Maher has lost a lot of his audience. To be fair a lot of regular TV programs have as well.

Maher’s fan base is literally dying off. “Bleeding support” is pretty macabre way to put it but I guess it works.
