Assuming you've been watching weekly seasonals constantly (like I have) the whole way, I'm guessing that people will see much more green near the top if you've been watching since then, since the choice was a lot more limited in fansub group days, and there was more steering pressure into the big shows.
Now you can fill yourself with the #17 to #27 most popular shows weekly and not even touch the ten most popular.
I'd be curious to see what this would look like if pushed back to 1995 or so.
