Oh there’s also that thing where Netflix metrics gathered are for accounts vs. how cable approximates viewers. I haven’t look too far into it, but when Netflix says 3 million or whatever, it could be 1:1 but even 1:4 in some cases when a family is watching or something.
I’m interested to see how the data Netflix gives WWE affects their programming. You’d imagine that over time, trends and patterns would become even more prevalent than they would on cable. If we see someone odd pop up a lot more than would seem usual, or a big star is somewhat downplayed — it would be interesting to know if the data reflects bizarre interest or disinterest in that person.
I mean, cable has the minute-by-minutes, but you are still counting on a real-time navigation of that, hangovers from segments, lead-ins, etc. The same is true for Netflix, but people can more readily go and find someone, re-watch something, that sort of thing.
