Can somebody explain the absolutely (imo) pointless OBSESSION with ratings that this board has?

Seriously, Think about it, Why do you faggots give a shit about a statistic that isn't even the absolute truth?
I could understand if you were a shareholder or owned stock in the company but most of you shitposters live in your parent's basement, You aren't businessmen, you're fans.
I'm not even saying that ratings are completely meaningless, Obviously bad ratings can be a sign of a company dying and therefore you as a fan don't get to enjoy wrestling from that company anymore... but the level that this board "discusses" ratings is fucking pathetic, It's like 90% of /pw/ posters enjoy shitposting about wrestling more than they actually like the wrestling with how much you faggots bitch about it and constantly find ways to rationalize a viewpoint that pro wrestling as a whole in the west is hotter and more culturally relevant than it has been since the attitude era.

Both companies have a huge platform now because more people stream than have traditional cable at this point plus it's more accessible being able to watch it on any device.
But no
>WWE IS DEAD
>AEW IS TANKING
because of nielson numbers or netflix numbers that most of you shitters don't even understand HOW they get the numbers and what they represent, you just see numbers and ur smooth brain processes it as
>holy fuck only 550k people are aew fans

Besides, who fucking cares, If the product is fucking good, then it's good, think for yourself and form a fucking opinion yourself
