[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 8985712, member: 7808"] This is exactly the question that I was asking about the statistics that are being touted in this thread. Isn't the fact that Rings of Power saw a 37% drop (but it's still being renewed for a second season) potentially evidence that highly advertised series suffer for poorer completion rates? Assuming we know what that number means, in a vacuum, is a very literal case of "begging the question". To go into even more conjecture, I would be really interested to know how these statistics deal with auto-playing. Every streaming service that I use (including Prime) likes to autoplay a new movie ofrshow when the one I am watching ends. I know that my Prime history has multiple things in my "Continue watching" or "Recently played" sections that are only there because someone didn't stop an auto-play because they fell asleep or only had the TV on in the background. If Amazon pushed RoP to auto-play more than other shows (because of how much money they put into it), wouldn't that artificially inflate the number of people who watch the first episode? How is this accounted for in the ratings? And to go even further into conjecture, why do we trust any numbers that come from Amazon (or Netfix, etc) at all? That data is some of the most important information they own. It's worth billions. When TV was broadcast we had Nielsen giving independent ratings for viewership, which gave us some semblance of trust. When we get these number from the company that's selling the product, why do we trust anything without independent review or oversight? [/QUOTE]
