Infowars app becomes 4th most popular news app in App Store [Update: App removed by Apple]
- Thread starter ReactionShot

Apple users tend to have more wealth than the average person, ergo they're probably more likely to be right-leaning.
LOL
Any way this is hardly an anomaly. Give it time. People check out current topics.
Was there more business in duping conservatives and putting a conservative spin on his conspiracy stuff? I remember way back when he was saying both sides are the same.
It's likely just seeing a huge temporary surge due to IW diehards flocking to the nearest mass market medium for that site. I expect it to eventually die down as the site struggles to find an audience amidst its mass deplatforming.
Huh? Apple sells phones it such quantity that their users are probably a perfect statistical make up of the US Population as a whole within a % or 2.
They phrased it as "most popular news app" so that distinction might be why its a smaller jump and Apple might be overall across categories. Not sure though
I might do this. These people will help fund my next iPhone purchase.
the iPhone is the most popular product ever. you can't draw anything from it.
These types of shit statements should be bannable. Your irrational hatred towards Apple and it's users is something you should get checked out.
it's 2018, the time to have random hate boners for the iPhone has come and gone
Youre still helping him spread his shit around if his app is still available so you've effectively done nothing in the end. Don't half-ass this Apple.
They removed the podcast from their servers. The app is basically nothing more than a more elaborate version of an RSS reader that pulls the content from Infowars' servers.
The politics of Apple customers isn't that simple. Before the iPod became an object of desire, the customer base was notoriously liberal. The company itself was founded by a barefoot hippie.
It shouldn't even be in that category. It's not news. It's entertainment at best.
If you have to "seek out and search for the information and views you want to hear" then you are not reading the news, you are reading opinions. Opinions are not news. Also, if you were 50/50 on "Alax Jones" before but the removal of his crap is what pushes you to be a fan, you have to re-consider your priorities in life. Plus, taking an app away doesn't mean that they're "taking away your rights."

he also stayed and marched in ferguson for like two weeks and supported blm.
I dunno. It makes sense that its that popular right now since a lot of those morons that like Alex probably didnt have the app and now that they cant go to YT or the other platforms to get their truthfacts of knowledge they are all jumping to the app. I bet it has crazy spyware and shit in it lol. suckers.
The Play Store version says 10K total downloads. Not sure how often it refreshes. If that's updated, it's a very small percentage of the following that he had on YouTube. Don't know what the raw numbers on iOS are though, where it seems to be much more popular. Hopefully both stores take the app down.
I'm not defending the guy because I don't know enough about him, but following someone on Twitter doesn't mean shit. I follow Trump but I sure as hell don't support him.
Android users aren't as reliant on a single service for podcasts.
Yeah, I'm sure Jones would trade being on every major video and podcast service in exchange for a 4th-most-downloaded iOS news app any day of the week. Boy he's really laughing all the way to the bank
I'm thinking that too, but it's usually the other way around. One party trying to remove and hide some information about themselves, whereas here it's other parties doing that. He's reveling in his newfound exposure.
He's following the lead pizzagate guy and is also following the guy in this video for a few.
That's certainly true
I posted earlier but when I think about it
When you silence someone you either completely crush them or u make them stronger in a way no three ways about it.
YouTube silencing him only made his fan base more supportive and probably got him new fans

I feel like the only way to stop this maniac is to completely nuke him from social media (Twitter's all that's left) and digital distribution services (App Store, and/or Play Store)
Normally I would say that people wouldn't go directly to Jones' website for their "news" as most people just get their news from places like Facebook, Twitter and Reddit... but I think all bets are off at this point, real life is so crazy that I wouldn't be surprised if it was a homepage for most of those people.
I'm sure there are some people who are following Jones after this, but they're probably people who are already so far right, they weren't coming back anyhow. I don't think there are many moderate conservatives reading this news that went "wow, I guess Google really doesn't want us to know that they're turning the frogs gay, must certainly be a conspiracy."

In case you're wondering, nobody is fooled by your shift from "Apple users are gullible" to "Apple users tend to be richer."
After (rightly) getting upset at people for judging SonicFox wearing a fursuit at EVO, making comments like this is hypocritical in the extreme.
Wait....how big are news apps? I've never even heard of one before.
Is like, going from 47th to 4th like "went from 5000 users to 50000" users?
