this is the wildest part of that synder interview, to me. www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

screencap of a paragraph: But Snyder raised a good point while talking to Rogan (a rare thing to happen on that show), which is that one view on Netflix doesn’t necessarily mean one person, and we’re talking about how many people saw Rebel Moon versus how many people saw Barbie. He said that Netflix itself considers each view to be two people, which is how he came to the conclusion that 160 million people saw Rebel Moon, but that can’t possibly be an accurate interpretation of these numbers. A 2020 review of studies about streaming use noted that “people tend to binge-watch alone,” and while watching one movie doesn’t necessarily qualify as binge-watching, it does at least take the air out of the argument that one view on Netflix is automatically two views because people watch things together.

That's hella wild. Have they even stated what they count as a view since Netflix has been so historically secretive about their data?

The statistician in me is definitely into this bc like there's definitely some validity to the fact that view counts are likely an underrepresentation because it just cannot count anyone watching together, adjustments to data to reflect assumptions aren't inherently shady and are pretty normal...

Isn't this the kind of thing that research exists to quantify?

This is some hilarious and lazy-ass “creative accounting” shenanigans.

Feeling pretty good about my "you have the length of an anime episode to do at least one thing that captures my interest" viewing policy

"Adjusted EBITDA" but for movies instead of WeWorks.

Every view is a Netflix and chill situation?

and since the majority of people have two eyes, it's really like four views. eight views if they both wear glasses.

My gut would have to assume it’s somewhere between 1 and 2, like 1.27 or something like that

But for every group of people that watched this there has to be at least one Sndyer stan watching it 10 times in a row, Battle Angel style.
