Clarkson sacked by Amazon

Amazon prime video won't make money, very few people subscribe to prime FOR video, they get it as part of overall prime , but they spend a fortune on content. We don't know the details as it's not separated out on Amazon's accounts but you can't say it generates xyz amount of revenue because of how it's packaged
Exactly its just a 'hook' to get people into the 'Amazon way of life' so to speak. They will judge shows like Clarkson's purely on viewing figures I guess. But who knows, maybe they're cleverer and judge shows based on how much they make from their viewers via all Amazon streams?
 
I can remember years back during an episode of Top Gear, an audience member shouted something at Clarkson whilst he was presenting but he didn't say anything malicious. He was clearly trying to have a bit of harmless banter.

The lad had big ears and Clarkson's response was "Hang on a minute, have you actually seen what you look like?".

I just thought it showed how shallow he must be that he thought it was acceptable to mock the guys personal appearance and humiliate him like that. I just get the feeling he isn't a very nice person really.
 
I see a lot of ignored content on this thread for my account. I am going to assume the resident troll has said something and is now being 'attacked' and its become personal again :)

Clarkson made a blunder. If people don't want to be associated with him after that such as Amazon, then that is their choice to make, He's an independent contractor so technically can't be sacked, he just won't have his contract extended.

Personally, its a shame, I like GT and CF. I generally find him amenable, he's a knowledgeable guy and as a previous poster said, he did a lot to highlight farming issues in the UK. What he said about Meghan was wrong, his punching Oisin and Piers Blowbag wasn't the best thing to do, but people claiming it makes him a violent monster is a bit overblown. He punched someone he shouldn't have and paid the consequences for it as far as the victim wished to proceed and the other person he decked, he should have been knighted for :)
We'll have less of these sensible and reasoned posts on this thread if you don't mind

P.S. Post of the day
