The streaming giant just reported that last year, it blew through the largest mountain of cash in the company’s history.

Of course, they said that this year would finally be when they burn through about only 75% of that amount.

Two years ago, they said the same thing and were wrong. Meanwhile, they finally had to admit what I told you years ago, that the viewership numbers they report are total crap.

The government regulators must have taken notice and made them do that.

‘The Witcher’ Breaks Netflix Series Viewership Records — With One Big Catch

The Witcher, despite its divisive reviews, is a hit for Netflix — but its numbers can’t really be compared to past releases of data from the company thanks to a change in the way the streaming giant measures viewership.

Netflix, in announcing its fourth-quarter earnings, revealed viewership for recent TV launches The Witcher as well as new seasons of the hits The Crown and Lifetime rescue You. But it was Henry Cavill-led The Witcher that broke TV viewership records. The streamer on Tuesday said The Witcher is tracking to be its biggest season one TV series launch ever. Through four weeks of release, 76 million member households watched the fantasy drama. (The series was renewed for a second season ahead of its debut.)

Netflix, however, has changed the way it reports a “view.” Previously, the company counted a view as a member account watching at least 70 percent of one episode of a series or 70 percent of a feature film. Now, it is touting that viewers “chose to watch” a given title, meaning that member watched for as little as two minutes — “long enough to indicate the choice was intentional,” per a footnote in the earnings report. Under that measurement, the streamer says The Witcher is on track to have the biggest first season ever for a Netflix original. – Source
