It's stupid, but also it's meaningless. People don't actually enter URLs into web browsers anymore, nor do they pay any attention to the URLs that are plastered over everything. They google the name of the thing they want to access, and "the right view" is easy enough to find.

Worse, it's a podcast, so it's website is just an ad for the actual thing, just like the background is, so it's not like she actually cares if anyone goes there. She wants them to search iTunes or whatever for it.

Laughing at her for the meaningless typo while she successfully markets her shitty podcast is just smug and empty catharsis. It's patting yourself on the back for noticing that your neighbour forgot to turn their lights out when evacuating as wildfires convert your entire neighbourhood to ash.

Right? This is just a typo. Who among us has never had a big typo. It happens. Plus you can make the subdomain anything you want so they could point wwww to site if they wanted and realistically most people just leave off the w's anyway when typing in a domain.

There are actual egregious problems caused by these people but everyone in these comments jerkin themselves off over this just look desperate.

It’s just a typo, so to make a story about it is a stretch. However it goes to show the lack of professionalism and proofing that happens. So, it’s not a big deal, but it’s still newsworthy to a minor extent.

[-] zigmus64@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

So it’s shallow AND pedantic.

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Its* website.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

As the article shows, it was also aired on Fox, Newsmax and other conservative outlets, not just her podcast.

[-] Kichae@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You're caught up in the "hurr durr, she so dumb". I didn't say she showed it on her podcast, I said it's an ad for her podcast, and it's all the more successful for everyone sharing the image. Any of us who had never heard of it now know it exists, and what it's called.

Again, no one cares about the URL. They're not going to use it. They're going to google the name and successfully find it, because Google finds it just fine. You're laughing at trivialities while she's successfully getting her shit out there to audiences.

Not to mention that I hadn't heard of any of this until this post.

Almost feels like when someone would make an error in a reddit title for engagement.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

Damn, dude. I just thought it was funny. Does everything have to be deadly serious around here?

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

“the smartest people!”

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.one 15 points 1 year ago

URL is:

https://therightview.com/

So it was just an error on the part of whoever put up the graphic. Someone still should have caught it.

https://www.therightview.com/ does take you to the same site.

There's nothing preventing them from setting up wwww as a subdomain if they really want the Trumpian "sharpie pen" version of "see, we were right all along."

So it's an extremely minor typo that most people would have corrected as soon as they tried it.

How is this news, and how is this "politics"? Because it happened on a news channel? Because they're advocating to change the standard to 'wwww.'?

[-] stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Because everyone else recognizes the happenings of the richest, most powerful families in the word as important because, you know, money and fucking power.

Sick of this sleepy ass rhetoric against the rich and elite. Burying heads in sand is for the birds

[-] lemmy_get_my_coat@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

But why

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Because they're all morons.

[-] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I know right? She could easily rock another W. Why stop at 4

[-] mandolrain@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Never mind the typo, her eyes got different postal codes

[-] s7ryph@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Looking like a Minecraft pig.

[-] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

They’re cousins, not twins

[-] pjhenry1216@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

The funny thing is that they could easily fix the problem. Creating a DNS record for 'wwww' is simple. Or they could fix the typo. I wonder if they'll ever do either.

idiots going to idio

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Huh. I'm surprised I don't remember ever encountering that in the wild before.

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That is embarrassing.

[-] TheJims@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

She’s taking away the Dumbest Trump title from her husband

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Eh no. We know who's the dumbest Trump, and it's neither Lara nor Eric.
