Self Proclaimed 'Shahrvand' (Aka 'Citizen') Reza Pahlavi's channel is struggling to remain relevant in the face of the social media phenomena where viewers who cannot be taken for granted have the benefit of the choice. 

 

Figures speak for themselves ...

Monarchist Nationalist Omid Dana whose programs "Roo Dast" have been critical of Crown Prince Reza's double standards and political amateurism and has been successful in unmasking Diaspora Iranians including public figures ( in the cultural, artistic, social and political landscape) collaborating with the Islamic Republic in recent years has been drawing an increasing number of followers and subscribers and now crossing the threshhold of 5 Million regular viewers.

 
 
 
 
Just for a comparison Kambiz Hosseini who has benefitted from considerable financial backing and publicity to launch his own carreer aided by VOA and BBC Persian as well as NIAC networking to appear on Mainstream medias like Jon Stewart's program has 2 million more viewers than Omid Dana :

Yet despite this obvious and irrefutable following of Dana's programs, Diaspora corporate medias and Online magazines like JJ's or others continue to boycott Dana's programs to instead highlight those whose views reflect this website's editorial policy

So Why is Dana being boycotted to this date as if he did not represent an evergrowing constituency of viewers ? 

The answer is simple : Omid Dana's outspokenness often substantiated with irrefutable facts hurts the STATUS QUO.
