A Reddit discussion composed almost entirely of highly emotional, unequivocally ignorant Far-Left radicals recently targeted Peanut Gallery Media Network (PGMN), with several commenters calling on others to report the page and unsubscribe.
The attackers — universally categorized outside their echo chamber as ‘woke extremists’ or ‘beta snowflakes’ — were the same people who celebrated the public execution of Charlie Kirk with comments such as:
“T*ngina mo, Charlie Kirk. We pound our chests and celebrate your demise. All the hypocrital Pinoys who see him as a hero should go too!!”
And…
“He got bl*sted in the neck in front of his kids? Shoulda done a 2nd follow up shot up to the head”
Some of them accused the network of being politically aligned with and funded by certain political families or owned and operated by the greatest Filipino political strategist of all time.
Others dismissed its legitimacy and labeled it partisan, with users in the thread expressing frustration toward the network’s growing visibility online.
Others decided to purposefully lie about or hurl ad hominems at PGMN’s politically and culturally diverse roster of expert anchors and young writers.
The criticism reflects a broader pattern of online backlash directed at independent platforms, where accusations and calls for cancellation often spread quickly in community forums that have been swallowed whole by the most dangerous religion of the 21st century: wokeism. In this case, the discussion focused on discrediting PGMN, but the numbers from the past month show that audience interest in all PGMN properties continues not only to climb sharply, but to skyrocket, despite these efforts.
The numbers are clear: In the last 30 days, PGMN surpassed 100 million total views across the major social media platforms for the first time in the company’s young history.
Facebook led the surge with 81 million views in 28 days, a 125 percent increase from the previous period.
Instagram generated 4.4 million views in the last 30 days, with 57.5 percent of viewers coming from non-followers who discovered the page organically.
YouTube recorded 1.6 million views in 28 days, nearly 600,000 higher than the platform’s usual range, bolstered by an unusally immense spike in recommendations.
TikTok added 13 million views during the same period — alongside 934,000 likes, 61,000 shares, and 133,000 profile visits. These numbers highlight not only the page’s reach but also a spectacular level of interaction from audiences across multiple platforms.
Engagement metrics further confirm this trend. TikTok likes alone approached one million in a single month, while Instagram data showed that more than half of its viewership came from audiences outside the existing follower base.
The underdog media company’s tenacious and unwavering commitment to free speech absolutism has obviously and irrefutably triggered the woke mob that’s been so used to getting it’s way over the last decade in terms of censorship and silencing those they disagree with. The objectively breathtaking rate of growth is (mostly) attributed to their tantrums. PGMN ownership claims that the strategy was entirely intentional.
“Filipino wokes are predictable,” said the owner. “It allows anyone in media to puppeteer them like a hand in a dry sock. In our case, all we had to do was tell the truth in a manner they weren’t used to hearing.”
PGMN recently won the 2025 Asian Pillar Award for Free Speech, while its lead anchor Cj Hirro was honored as the 2025 Asian Pillar for Journalistic Excellence.
The company’s YouTube channel also just received its Silver Play Button from Google — an achievement that takes on average four and a half years to obtain. PGMN did it in eight months.
In less than a year of operations, the company has palpably impacted culture. It has repeatedly influenced legislation. It has literally altered election results.
PGMN is 10 months old today and is approaching half a billion lifetime views — a milestone it will likely hit by October, thanks to the intense enthusiasm of its supporters and the equally intense enthusiasm of its haters.
