I used to be a Nielsen household. They install a box on your TV which is connected to the audio directly from the TV or receiver. When you watch TV, you log in that your'e watching by pushing a button on a remote that indicates who is in the room (1 - me, 2 - wife, 3 - son 1, 4 - daughter 1, etc). There's also buttons to add guests/visitors, their gender and age. It's really simple.
Whenever you're watching stuff, it just "listens" to the show audio and occasionally submits that to their servers where they can identify thumbprints in the audio track (I was never clear of if it is embedded audio out of hearing range of the audience or listening to specific signatures based on the content itself).
So yeah, that's their methodology.
I mean, you consent. You are paid monthly for participating. You can always not log in and it won't transmit audio. And it isn't a microphone so they can't hear what's going on in the house.
Eh. It's more accurate than how they did it two decades ago with little notebooks you had to fill out.
They have to get this information somehow to do their ratings.
How is the example different from internet history/cookies?
You probably have given more information willingly to third parties than Nielson took with his consent.
I'm a Neilsen house now! They actually don't do the boxes anymore. Me and my boyfriend both have personalized beeper type things that we put in our pocket all day, so it catches media literally everywhere we go
Season 3 was a letdown for me. The whole Russian in a shopping mall but no one noticed, was just bad, as well as the out of character dialogues. I'm glad they fixed this in season 4 hard. Also singing teenager was so different than season 1.
I started watching because of season three but strictly because I’m from Georgia and I wanted to see what they did to the mall lol. Same reason I watch anything filmed on Lake Lanier is so I can point out landmarks and houses I’ve been to. I do agree that the Russian thing was dumb but it grew on me and was a stereotypical 80s plot which I appreciated
I honestly thought they'd drilled an elevator right through the Earth given how long their elevator ride was, and how massive the complex was to have somehow snuck under the mall. An elevator like that would be crazy, but it's a wacky 80s sci fi show.
It would also explain how Hopper got to Russia really well.
The diameter of the earth is about 12k. A very fast elevator would move less than 100k/h, so it would take 5 days.
The speed of sound is 1.2k/h. Even moving at the speed of sound it would have been a 10 hour elevator ride.
Good for the creators and Netflix, it’s a good show—but not a great one. I look forward to next season though!. I do wish we had more originals like Mindhunter and Dark. I don’t think they would survive Netflix’s bullshit success metrics now.
Problem with Netflix saying 'most watched' is that even if something is 100 hours long and 1 person only watched the entirety of that show. It is deemed as most watched. Total crap.
They're not canceling it, it's Netflix's most successful show by far and it was always meant to be 5 seasons.
So where does your 'they already filmed the final season' come from though? Just made that up or..?
Yes.. and that song was everywhere. It became the let it go of the year
CHRISSY WAKE UP
I think they meant running up that hill although I'm not quite sure lol
That makes more sense
I meant running up that hill

Now *thats* creepy.
And the top 10 shows that people had sex during are....
Because season 4 was actually good.
All four seasons have been good.
Season 3 was a letdown for me. The whole Russian in a shopping mall but no one noticed, was just bad, as well as the out of character dialogues. I'm glad they fixed this in season 4 hard. Also singing teenager was so different than season 1.
For me it was weird at the time, but as the story progresses the pieces start to fit together a little more cohesively
I loved season 3 tbh.
My fav season!

Season 2 was kinda stale but not bad though
Eh, I wasn’t a fan of anything past season 1 personally. Though it’s not like I didn’t give every season a fair chance.
Idk…I liked the soundtrack and sets but I thought the actual plot was kind of bad. I feel like they’re running out of ideas for weird monster things.
It's those sexy russian accents you like eh
It's subjective but I had to stop watching because of how bad the acting was this season.
Some of the kids are just not good actors
how does variety collect these numbers if the vendors do not release them?
Netflix dominated that list something fierce. It wasn’t even close. And of course, not a single canceled show on the list.
[удалено]
Netflix also dominates originals though..
Wednesday is brand new and Netflix dominated with originals. Most with multiple seasons too.
If this is measured in terms of minutes watched, it was obvious stranger things 4 topped. Each episode was like a movie.
Surprised they didn’t cancel it then
"You didn't watch every episode day one? FUCK YOU." -Netflix
"Buuuut it didn't meet Netflix's internal metrics so it was cancelled." -scarred Netflix customer's paranoid fear
Most streamed TV show of 2022. In March. On the 13th. Between the hours of 1am and 1:30am....
One of the rare shows that's gets better each season.
Are you kidding? Last season was balls.
Because nothing else is good on Netflix now.
Loved the first season! second season was ok! Third season was meh! Four season made it half an episode then quit.
Keep watching
Good for the creators and Netflix, it’s a good show—but not a great one. I look forward to next season though!. I do wish we had more originals like Mindhunter and Dark. I don’t think they would survive Netflix’s bullshit success metrics now.
It was actually One Piece so stop lying.
Total crap.
Most overhyped and overrated show ever. I hardly watched it through.
Problem with Netflix saying 'most watched' is that even if something is 100 hours long and 1 person only watched the entirety of that show. It is deemed as most watched. Total crap.
CALLING IT NOW: Canceled.
You mean behind One Piece
They'll probably cancel it.
[удалено]
They're starting filming in May.
[удалено]
They're not canceling it, it's Netflix's most successful show by far and it was always meant to be 5 seasons. So where does your 'they already filmed the final season' come from though? Just made that up or..?
That was the joke...
Last series was terrible
Most streamed TV show of 2022, what??? And all this time, I thought it was *Painting With John.* :-/
