>>14598844>Proof?Their ratings trend the same way whether sports are on or not. I had this same argument last year on here during the playoffs and they never had some magical post playoff bump. Have you looked at an AEW crowd or looked at an AEW fan's Twitter account? They do not give a fuck about basketball or hockey.
>Millions dropping cable yoy definitely hasn't effected viewership for anythingNielsen doesn't just take numbers from cable. I see a lot of cope about "I watch on YouTube TV and so do my friends. Cable is dead." when Nielsen has deals with YouTube TV, Hulu and even Comcast's streaming app and counts that viewership towards its numbers. People still use linear TV, its viewership is just splintered because there's a million channels and most content can be watched on demand. Live sports and other big live events like award shows do big numbers. Monday Night Football averaged 17 million viewers. These are all people with some kind of television service provider, they just aren't watching AEW. If you're gonna say something about how millions watch it illegally, that amounts to nothing.
