Tbh I think it's better for the Internet for idiots like us not to know, but it blows my mind when he says Max doesn't share the data with their creators.
How do these streaming companies expect long-running shows like wrestling to keep catering to their audience if they can't see which segments are drawing/losing?
The streamers are thinking in the context of not wanting creators to know where they stand vs. everything else in detail because then the creators and actors have all of the leverage at the negotiation table.
The beards online aren't aware that this was all discussed during the Hollywood writer's strike. They give them the bare minimum and that's it. It's left to people like Nielsen to try to figure out what the real numbers are but those are often just educated guesses.
Even when Netflix releases numbers it's all types of "streamer math" attached to them. And like @Jmare007 if they did put out detailed reports there would likely be NDAs
So when a reporter says "Are you at a million with max factored in" all Tony can really say is "I know what they tell me, that we do well vs. other sports"
If they are doing 700K or whatever on TBS then it's likely they are over a million combined.
