They are paying parrot analytics. They are in the business of tracking, analyzing and providing stragies for shows that work with companies like hulu or Disney.
They do a lot of really shady shit. Like ratings used to be standard from the Nielson system. People counted as watching if they watched a certain amount of minutes of a show. It was flawed but it worked to a good degree. Now, parrot analytics is involved with a much wider process. They track things like social media engagement and count viewing minutes when someone watches youtube or Facebook or Instagram clips of their content. So let's say someone links a clip of hank being woke here on 4chan to show us how gay king of the hill is. This counts as ratings now in the overall.
This is why these companies are nostalgia and woke baiting now. They know it drives reactions, good or bad, slop or not.
Parrot analytics is also in the business of manufacturing trends. They publish these bogus stats and are valuable to these companies because it's actually really useful to have a "trending" show. Other people will watch a trending show just because it's trending.
