HBO Max seems to come up a lot as new network for saving shows but I'm wondering it could be counter productive as you then start limiting your audience. It's fine if they've already got it but I think there time as has come where people will start giving up on shows rather than pay for another streaming service just to get one series.
A completely different revenue stream.
The Nielsons measure 40 thousand homes (hundred thousand people) then multiply the results by 3000, to figure out what 300,000,000 people are watching.
is there a Nielson family that has cut the cord? The Box measuring zero views of anything from now to the end of time, because the family is watching Youtube and hulu?
HBO Max has exact numbers for how many of their subscribers watched every show, and how much of it they watched/gave up, or if it took them multiple attempts to get through a 4 hours long Justice league movie. Or it tells them if it's a series that many people are watching more than once.
Kids watching the same 4 episodes of Blues Clues over and over again.
Keeping literal subscribers vs conjobing advertisers.
Oh, there's another demographic.
People who pay for HBO Max, but never use it.
If people are paying for a service they never use, do you really have to try at all? Couldn't you just make a lot more money airing a test pattern and keep several thousand loyal nonviewers who forgot they subscribed and don't account their automatic payments so well? A smaller subscriber base, but zero over heads. It's basically what Trump has been doing. Ramping up donations and providing zero services in return because he is no longer the fucking government.
