>>18187089 Netflix posts them, but Dave has convinced himself that Nick Khan hacks Netflix and posts a fake number, so he headcanons his own made up number each week
>>18187083 (OP) I think Netflix just realized this is not worth 1 billion dollars. Either negotiate a new contract or Raw is getting dropped via not extending the rights on year 5

>>18187083 (OP) last week's raw was even more horrible than usual and that early start time didn't help.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I LOVE LAUGHING AT THE FED
>>18187159 Dave is extremely far gone at this point. Someone posted an observer radio rip here where Dave convinces himself that WWE lies about the Netflix number every week, and that Dynamite actually outdraws their viewership when you add Max because he's spoken to multiple mathematicians who said 300k viewrs on Max is a very low estimate.
>>18187083 (OP) Maybe this has something to do with the show randomly airing two hours earlier than usual, and the week covered being a holiday week that saw all wrestling shows do big drops in the ratings?
>>18187083 (OP) Friendly reminder Meltzer had deals with Turner to shill WCW in the past and try to bury WWF as he is doing again with AEW because he has shares in that company. Same old shit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxafW6Rhpgs And he was really happy here to bury Wrestling in the past because ESPN paid him a lot to shill NFL in its shittiest decadent era in the late 90's before the government and media began shilling into overdrive into where we are now out of sheer bread and circus survival.

>>18187083 (OP) could be worse, imagine doing the job to a rerun on HGTV
>>18188384 >>18189492 It was a horrible move, rural retards and boomers like me aren't subscribing to NF just to watch wrestling, and not watching RAW means I quit following WWE altogether
>>18189492 I don't think they make money based off of ratings any more though, they've got sponsors all over the ring and stuff plus whatever netflix is paying them. Otherwise they're just chasing the number to try and what, get shafted on ad rates because marketers don't know wrestling fans have disposable income? Also I'm sure they have all sorts of 'engagement metrics' and other cope to somehow prove that they're actually more societally relevant than other.

>>18187233 That's depressing lol. I'm curious about the process of calculating the view numbers on streaming services. From what I understand, they don't release those numbers but somehow Dave is able to extrapolate that Raw is losing viewers but AEW is staying the same/increasing? How do people trust Dave doing math anyways? He doesn't strike me as someone who's reputable in statistics unless he's phoning in Tony Khan who will of course shit on WWE
>>18193141 Netflix releases the weekly top 10 with view numbers. Wrestlenomics uses an average of 1.37 viewers per household to estimate total viewers.
"Airing on Netflix since Jan 6, 2025, and on USA Network before that. 2024 averaged (1,660,000) -2% compared to 2023 (1,695,000). 2025 is currently averaging an estimated (1,756,000) +1% compared to 2024 through the same point in that year (1,731,000)."
