99.9% of the people registering aren't actually going to attend and don't care at all about the content of the lecture.

Princeton has exceeded their "Zoom quota" once and had to increase it to accommodate additional registrations. Is there some limit that they absolutely cannot exceed? Will they have to close registration at some point?

If so, then many people that were interested in the content of the lecture will be unable to view it. So... he is effectively going to be cancelled by the anti-cancellers.

I haven't yet seen an upper limit with a Zoom seminar (you just have to coordinate with them in advance for large events) but there may indeed be one.

It would be interesting to see the actual numbers that end up attending it live.

And you can always record the zoom and put it up on something like YouTube, Rumble, Bitchute, etc. afterwards. Pretty hard to cancel ALL of those services.
