Oh, I understood that part. This forum is still the internet though. That's what I meant.
Have they accounted for duplicates? Someone that talks about Trek here, goes to Instagram to post pics, watches the show, and so on? Seems like that would be a very important component to it all. How do you decide which are independent, and which are from the same person?
Apparently, these kind of statistics are based on Quantity, not Quality.
Doesn't matter Who's doing it, but How Many Times it's done is the most important factor.
The 'Specific Individual' isn't the statistical rational anymore.
It's the 'Number of Times the Show is Referred to Online" that has become the analytical foundation of study.

Quality does factor as "expressions" are weighted differently. See upthread. Fanfic weighs more than a simple opinion.
This very likely doesn't matter, as they are looking for numbers of expressions, not number of expressions per person. That's why Scott Grimes was asking fans to include an Orville hashtag any time they discussed the show on the internet.
This is why I have keep calling hate watchers, "fans" who have helped DSC much more than they know.
Turns out there's only 11 of us, each with 200 duplicate accounts. We're single-handedly keeping Discovery afloat.
On the contrary. They're absolutely great for Parrot Analytics.
In as much as any TV shows ratings are great for Neilson.
No, because these aren't ratings, and the Parrot Analytics methodology is proprietary and opaque.
So what? It doesn't help Parrot if their numbers don't correlate with CBS's $$$$ and subscriptions coming in from interest in Discovery.
But it makes it meaningless for people who aren't their clients, unlike the rating information disclosed by Nielsen (who also do research into market trends on a consulting basis). Again, it's great for Parrot Analytics. The more we talk about their unlabeled data and expect it to be an industry benchmark, the better for them.
All these numbers do is add to the growing mountian of evidence that Discovery is very successful.. CBS are making 4 or 5 other Star Trek shows right now. Why would they be doing that if it was a flop?
We'll see how the season ends, but if the premise of Discovery changes a lot, like a change in setting, I think it's to clear the way for a Pike Enterprise show. They're not going to have 2 ship-based 23rd century shows on at the same time, so if they're going to do a Pike show, the easy fix is to send Discovery to another time or place since the spore drive has the ability to do that.

Discovery was number one show on CBS AA even during months with no new episodes:
All this indicates at the moment that for a long time haters will have to record a youtube videos of what a failure this series is and why it will be canceled immediately.

The TZ is slightly bigger for now so CBS AA has two series which draw viewers:

But the overall gist of their system is How Many Times a particular show is talked about or mentioned.
The "weight" of individual posts seems to be minuscule at best.
The 24th century was big enough for 2 Trek series to be on at a time, why shouldn't the 23rd be?
If you don't have multiple series in the same time period, you can't have crossovers. Why wouldn't CBS want the option of doing crossovers between two of more of their Star Trek series? The whole idea of having a successful Streaming platform is that you are encouraging viewers of different things to keep their subscriptions year round.
IF latest rumors are to be believed (that's a big IF), CBS is going down the route of a Trek series per century (Discovery jumping to 28th, Picard in late 24th, Pike (please!) in 23rd, Section 31 (in XX?), plus animated series at TBD century. If that is all true, then CBS wants to spread the field, see what's more popular rather than risk everything by sticking everything into one basket (century). I suppose that makes sense.
Kurtzman has been quoted as saying that he wants each Star Trek series to be very different from each other. If they want a Pike show, I can't see how it'd be that different than Discovery if Discovery kept its current setting.
