How the fuck is this possible?Do normies just watching final seasons so they can larp?
>>220608046>How is it possible that a show that even places that "hate" it are watching it doing wellThe world may ever know.
You think anyone is watching it and not just putting it on as background noise?
>>220608046sunk cost fallacyGoT S8 had great numbers too, right? But will people watch Vought Rising or Mexico?
>>220608116Seems kinda psychotic to choose a gritty gorey drama show as your background noise.
It's all made up nonsense. At some point all of our major industries shifted to a completely metric based approach to determining success and since then companies in those industries have spent all their time and effort on gaming said metrics to the point where none of it actually means anything anymore.
>>220608046You have to account for women streaming a show on the TV while staring at their phone. They stick to streaming the same show so they can say they’ve watched every episode despite not watching any of them. Get married so you too can learn that women have fish brains.
>>220608192>>220608193and so the cope begins
>>220608046now reveal which scenes got skipped the most in s5 and the ratios of scene skips per season in general
>>220608106Haven’t watched since season 1
>>220608214Lol of course he just goes straight for the cope defense. What a fag.
>>220608046I got invited to a watch party via Zoom to watch the final episode. It took every ounce of my being to not insult the bugman and politely make up an excuse.
The spinoff got canceled, so it appears everyone is just along for the finale and then don't seem to care about the others.
>>220608046The fact that a show like this is so successful is completely damning of humanity
>>220608193It's true. My wife will put on the most un-fucking-funny sitcoms and just sit there and scroll on her phone while it's playing. New Girl? AwfulThe Office? Has its moments but is generally shitFriends? Genuinely fucking terrible and is boomer shit anywaySchitt's Creek? Shit but it's also unfunny and gay.I've seen all of these shit ass shows by proxy from my child brained wife.
>>220608160Exactly. I was one only one of my friends who skipped last 2 episodes of GoT ( only because I had better things to do in that time), despite everyone already hating the show.
There ain't shit else to watch.And Gen V fucking sucked. They could've made something great but went all DEI and ruined it.
>>220608311What kind of gay people are you associated with?
>>220608046/tv/ has not stopped talking about the boys either
>>220608046Go woke, make millions.
>>220608214>coping for watching my wife stream every episode of The Office while staring at her phone >coping for quizzing my wife on what happened in the episode of The Office she just streamed and she can’t answer a single question >coping for me never getting to watch what I want because the wife has to stream something while staring at her phone You virgins are so naive.
>>220608193>>220608371Does yours also put the subtitles on for the shows they're not watching?
>>220608193So explain why every show doesn't have 50 million viewers, if they're all just women on their phones.
>>220608193>Get married so you too can learn that women have fish brains.Or let other brave souls take the dive and tell you all about it. Thank you for your service.
OP, why are you believing such numbers and taking them at face value? All of this is unaudited. Look up the meaning of Non-GAAP earnings.
>>220608311Do you fags have watch parties around circlejerking to porn?
>>220608046a lot of people stop watching in the middle because drip feeding is lame and they know they can catch up whenever it ends because nothing gets more than 50 episodes anymore. the golden goose is dead
>>220608916Because there's no other numbers to go off of? We know The Boys is popular even if people don't think the writing has been strong lately. To think otherwise is cope.
>>220608046How many watch minutes?
>>220608160It's not just sunk cost, Breaking Bad didn't become huge until the final season when everyone who didn't watch before suddenly started watching just as it ended.
>>220609004This is a thing all the streamers do. They count viewers as people who've watched at least a minute and they also auto-start their own shows in certain circumstances (if you watch a series to completion Amazon will just randomly play a different show if you have auto-play on and it played half of the show Ballard because my wife left it on).
>>220609067So they flip flop between minutes watched and viewers depending on which one has the more favorable numbers.
>>220608046I'm pretty sure these numbers only take into account viewers who watched when each season was still airing. As for why the show has grown despite getting worse, seasons 1-3 got people on the hook.inb4 "nuh uh it was always shit maaan! who even likes things lmao"There's a recent trend of people going back to the earlier seasons to compare. It's not even close. They used to actually put effort into this show. The scenes from the fake in-universe movie "dawn of the seven" unironically look better than anything in season 4 and 5.
>>22060804655 million people are going to be mad as hell tomorrow.
>>220608371The Office is generally good. Don't be a fag.
>>220608257You are 1 person
everyone loves a good trainwreck
>>220608046>this show has X viewsprove itthey won't"just trust us" they'll sayno, I don't think I will
>>220608046That first season was pretty goodthen it just got worse and worse
>>220608311>turning down a friendly invitation>hiding scorn for said inviteryou sounds like the bug, man
"EVERYONE DIES!"
>>220609475They won't lie but they will manipulate the numbers. 55 million views but for how long and for what seasons and how many of those views are auto-played? If they outright lie they can get sued.Every time Disney+ touts its sub numbers it's a lie because they double dip and count people that sub to a bundle twice but if you read the fine print when they announce this shit they don't lie.
>>220608046> Do normies just watching final seasons so they can larpHow has OP not been saar’d for this yet
>imagine the smell
>>220608046I think the auto-play switches to the most popular shows (or the ones they want to pad out) because I know a lot of elderly people just let their streaming services run as background noise all day.
>>220608046This shit is fake. 55m views and yet I've never heard one single person talking about this stupid super hero shit irl
55 million goys are about to get clowned on by eric kikepke, we're talking game of thrones levels of seethe
>>220609039>Breaking Bad didn't become huge until the final season when everyone who didn't watch before suddenly started watching just as it ended.You're 12 years old. The show was getting tons of attention from the first season because it was hal from malcolm in the middle cooking meth.
>>220609039>>220610039>my anecdotal experience beats yours!!I remembered fring's death as being the big jumping on point where everyone irl was talking about the show, but per viewership the s05 guy was right
>>220608193You forgot the part where she asks, "Why did he do that to that person?" during the climax of the episode. Almost threw the remote a few times.
>>22060898955m views for s5 total, but barely 1m-2m views max on various 'tube vids, sometimes far less. i guess the cope reply is that amazon views by show fans don't translate into views on other platforms (not even for interviews of the cast, behind the scenes, or whatnot)>>220609994"our show is getting 10s of millions of views, trust us!" trust our internal data, trust the science!" -amazon"may we see metrics from a neutral third-party?"...no. at this point the scam is so big that they have no choice but to keep lying to keep the scam going. just like how if someone lies, they keep lying to cover up the original lie. that's where our economy is, just rampant dumbfuckery, lies, and slop. some idiot like carlos mencia was able to become a millionaire in the US, and he isn't even funny. just annoying, got lucky, and stayed consistent. success is mostly luck and momentum. even libs on reddit are bitching about all the plot holes of the goys.largest bubble in all of human history. weakest the dollar has ever been. same goes for other currencies.
im the opposite, i watched the first 4 seasons but havent watched any episodes in the 5th
>>220608046>Do normies just watching final seasons so they can larp?Yes, that's the whole reason Breaking Bad became popular and S5 did massive numbers even though it was by far the shittiest one. >>220610039Although the other dude already BTFO you with viewership numbers, I can see how you thought that if you were online a lot. Internet nerds loved it from the start because it started out as a nerd power fantasy show.
>>220609039>>220610148My dad only watched the series finale. I never understood it.
>>220611557mine tooit's like he didn't know any character at all or even the plot, but he sat his ass to watch the last episode with the rest of us and even clapped when it was over
>>220611622>and even clapped when it was overBro what the fuck is wrong with your dadMy dad only acts like that when drunk and watching sports
>>220610429Haunting of Hill House has the most blatant "let's explain why this matters for those who have been looking at their phones the whole time" scene at the end
>>220608046Wouldn't the confirmed final season for a successful show have the highest numbers? Even people who have given up a few seasons ago or managed to not give a fuck and watched none of it could be interested in watching it just to see how it ends.
>>220609228I watched 4 episodes in a row, only blew air our of my nose twiceShit sucksAlmost every punchline is just looking at the camera
>>220608106>>220608116>>220608160None of your answers explain the final season being more watched than the previous ones you presumably need to watch first
>>220608046Why was this season so cheap looking? Amazon knows exactly how many people are watching. But it looks like they gave Kripke peanuts to work with. So many scenes of characters talking in an abandoned building or empty field. The CGI is noticeably worse. There’s hardly any licensed music. Did all the money really go to Urban and Starr?
>>220611788Because Amazon decided it was going to be a success no matter what so why put money into it. Just to give you an idea, there are 240 million Amazon prime members worldwide. They're trying to say nearly a 1/4th of their subscribers watched some part of season 5.
>>220611735The answer is that it's not counting total views of all time. All those new people watching S5 are new people who have gotten into the show between 2019 and 2026.
>>220610039Bullshit. It got buzz for Hal in the 1st season, but it died until like season 3, then everyone pretended they watched it from the beginning because they watched two or three episodes before tapping out.
>>220608046Amazon is just cooking the books. Why would you NOT just lie if you can get away with it every single time?
every new thing is the most watched ever apparently
>>220611788>Why was this season so cheap looking?every show and movie is like that. look how cheap BR2049 looks compared to the original. look how cheap nu-wars looks compared to the original trilogy that was made for far less. jurassic park. tobey's spiderman vs new one. and so on and so forth. it's entropy. it's fraud and money laundering>we spent $200M, paid ourselves $150M, and only had $50M left to make the actual movie!
>>220608046stopped watching this goyslop when Erin Moriarty butchered her face and i couldn't jerk off to her anymore
Idk why retards in the thread are trying to downplay the numbers, I've seen reels and tik toks from this show do millions and millions of views within a day, even clips on youtube of the new season hit almost a million views. It's impossible to engineer this hype artificially across several platforms, this show is definitely hot as FUCK with the normies
>>220612377>most botted sites on the Internet>"they're definitely real people guys!"lol
>>220611788>>220612312No, what he means is that season 5 of The Boys looks cheap even compared to other seasons of The Boys. Every episode is just 3-5 actors standing around an empty set. No extras. Almost nothing is shot outside. Barely any visual effects. Every season of the show looks like ass but season 5 looks particularly bad.It's making me appreciate season 8 of Game of Thrones desu. Sure the writing was awful but at least it looked expensive.
>>220612377>>220612415I think its popular but is also kind of popular to say these last seasons are nowhere as good as the early ones
>>220608046Thank god I stopped watching after season 1
>>220608046>larpWhat did you think you meant, when you said that?
>>220612439They were never committed to actually keep a big budget by the fact the show deviates from the comic which uses way more constant action and powers throughout
>>220612459Live action role play
>>220612377It doesn't really mean anything desu. It's not predictive of future success. Gen V got cancelled for low viewership numbers even while The Boys was at its most popular. Vought Rising will probably never garner the same popularity of the original series even if it ends up being good. See also: GoT -> HOTD and Breaking Bad -> Better Call Saul.
Why do I have to wait till fucking midnight for this when the episode last week was on torrents by 6:30 PM
>>220612529>Show is most popular in USA>Release episodes at 3am on a weekday in eastern timezonesReally makes you think.
>>220608193That is my wife. There are shows she has managed to "watch" 13 seasons of but couldnt explain a single thing about it when I asked to try and participate in her interests. Its just background noise while on her phone. Just like the boomers did.
>>220612509HOTD is incredibly popular and even the AKOTSK spinoff, which even most ASOIAF readers haven't read, did decent numbers.
>>220608371We are on Virgin River right now. My favorite thing is guessing every single plot element because they are so ridiculously obvious and cliche. But I will say I respected this show had the teen zoomer telling her boomer mother she is keeping the baby and her mother was a retard for focusing on career and leaving family for so late in life. And it has the one token black guy on the show getting tried for murder which is hilarious.
>>220612644You're right but they're not doing anywhere close to what GoT did numberswise.And even worse: The premiere of HOTD S2 did worse numbers than HOTD S1 which is unusual.
>>220612553gotta give the jeets and diehard fans a few hours to astroturf positive reception before the ""core audience"" wakes up and has to decide which opinion to download
>>220608171go back reddit nigger
>>220608046tv audiences are dying, but they're not alldead yet. I would rather be dead than have to watch the tv-slop.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Pov0MKuyJfg&ra=m
>>220608046I think those stats only count views from the first year or something. So more people watch the last season as its coming out than the first since the show is more popular and has a reputation, but more people watched the earlier seasons in total by binge watching out of season.
Sorry guys, I watched the first 5 minutes of the first episode of this season before turning it off so they're probably counting meI'll also watch the last episode so I can shitpost about it more effectively
>>220608160I’m the opposite. If a TV show kinda sucks but I wanna know how it ends, I’ll just watch the last 3 episodes. Some normie shows are so shit that basically nothing happens between the pilot episode and the finale. You could jump into The Boys in the final season and have a decent idea of what’s going on. This show has basically been filler after Season 1.
I'm more excited about bigbunjee talking shit about it than the actual show. His season 4 review is some funny shit.
>Haha h-hey guys it's me A-Train the thread is moving too fast noone will notice that I am still dead
>>220612713Buy an ad faggot
>Oh hey this show is actually getting a final season instead of being cancelled?>Guess I can finally watch it
>>220608046I'll catch up with the YT shorts
Where are the spoilers?Theaters were airing it at 9pm eastern. It's been an hour since people should have been getting out.
>>220613066They are on twitter and tiktok, no one uses 4chins anymore and yes all the leaks, the bad ones, are true, underwhelming and mostly shot inside cheap sets
>>220611788>There’s hardly any licensed music. Did all the money really go to Urban and Starr?I never bothered watching “Supernatural” when the show originally aired, but I started watching the show on Prime, and all the original popular licensed music seems to be there, despite licensed music routinely not getting included in video and streaming releases of shows.
>>220608046/tv/ BTFO'd once again.
>>220608046There ain't much else on Prime r n to watch that I haven't seen already
>>220608419>coping for me never getting to watch what I want because the wife has to stream something while staring at her phoneare you a man or a bitch
>>220608046How many are looking at their phones during 99% of the scenes like Homelander doing nothing. Starlight vaping and talking about dicks. Butcher doing nothing and talking about dicks. Kimiko doing nothing and talking about dicks.
>>220613098I thought Amazon had infinite shekels? How can a show like this have zero budget for its final season.
>>220608116Normal fags that don’t even watch this show definitely watch series finales just to post about it on social media while not paying attention the entire time
New The Boys photos just dropped
>>2206081605 seasons isn't a sunk coat fallacy.
>>220616098Who is CoatPants man? I don't remember this supe
>>220616353The black preacher?
>>220608193My mom does this as well. >Anon these Korean dramas are so good>9/10 times I walk by the living room she's on her phone or taking a break to do house chores but almost never actually pausing it
>>220611735first of allthere's threads here where people ask if they need to watch a previous movie before they watch the newly released sequelslopbrains don't even think about that, they just jump inif they're a zoomer, maybe they watched a youtube recap or ending explained video
>>220608046>WHY DO PEOPLE WATCH POPULAR SHOWS???!!!!
>20 minutes in>nothing has happened
