>>18287426You don't seem to understand how ratings work.
The people represented in ratings all have Nielson ratings box that they use to watch various things on television, as part of an agreement with Nielsen.
Why would the people specifically with a vested interest in continuing to watch on television suddenly watch on MAX?
The reason the ratings didn't change is because ratings isn't actually an ACCURATE MEASUREMENT OF LIVE VIEWERSHIP -- it's a PROJECTION of total viewership (a GUESS) based on the percentage of Nielsen box holders who are watching and hitting the button their special remote.
It's a weird, shitty, very inexact way to gauge ratings and in my opinion it's always been a bit of a scam for marketing people to push big ad contracts.
