Well, it's easy to find the Boys' season 1 Amazon statements post-finale release, considering they launched the entire full season in one go.

Recently, the Head of Amazon Studios, Jennifer Salke, revealed that “The Boys” is greatly surpassing expectations and the company couldn’t be happier.
“We are thrilled that ‘The Boys’ has surpassed our predictions for viewing in its first two weeks, and has become one of our most-watched Amazon Original series by our Prime Video customers,” she revealed
And that's from a simple google search. So no, its not about whether it's easy to find or not, whether I'm trying to be dishonest or not. It's about the principle of why I wouldn't bother.
I know that if I honor his request, it becomes fuel for him to take the discussion tangentially. Now there are angles to twist more information on the table to fit arguments that were never made. Oh, this article is 3rd party and should be dismissed. Oh, this release isn't like Rings of Power's full season so you can't compare the Boys to it. Oh, this was only one statement made so it's not an indication that Amazon regularly does this, so you shouldn't say they do. You see, there's no point in providing the source because I already know the outcome of the answers, and it's not worth taking the conversation there. If he was also in good faith, then sure, I might honor that request in good faith. He isn't though, that's the difference. I only need to address his claim that Amazon doesn't make post-finale statements about a show's performance by saying they did so for the Boys. The simpler the information, the less there is to take into a needless tangent. If he can't find source for something that is easily google-able, then that really isn't my problem. He's intentionally baiting something to argue. That's how bad faith arguments work. It's not about what facts he can bring to the table, it's what facts you bring that he can dismiss or argue around.
You guys can clue in that Rhorle has a particular way of taking the argument tangentially and like you said, it's probably better not to feed into the arguments if we already know he's baiting for sources and links. I'll say that I took my time to present it to you just for the sake of our discussion, otherwise I wouldn't bother humoring it for him. So yeah, moving forward, if you see me not honoring his requests and not being nice, that's because I'm not being nice to the person who is usually being dishonest in return. If you want to see this as being a blanket characterization of me and how I am not a nice person to talk with in general, then so be it. Thank you for your concern otherwise.
-edit-
So similar to what they have done for Rings of Power. Season 1 of The Boys was released all at once so any comments about anything would happen post finale. We have got the same level of comments about Rings of Power.
You see, he even responded exactly as I expected him to. This is completely tangential to the fact I mentioned this to counter his own claim that Amazon does not make statements about their shows success post release, when this is clearly a valid example of it. He simply brushes it off as 'not on the same level of comments', whatever that means. It's bad faith, I know his answers, and I don't care about 'being honest' for the sake of getting an answer that I know will not progress the discussion at all.
The entire argument he's presenting is in bad faith. That you expect me to be arguing in good faith would be in ignorance of who I'm actually talking to. And that you consider Rhorle with such leniency tells me either you haven't had any experience with actually discussing something against him and providing sources to counter his claims, or that you're willingly being ignorant to them considering how these conversations have flooded the entire thread for this long I find it hard to imagine this is the first time you're seeing this.
