Squidward T 2,195 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Maybe people are tired of watching millionaires wining awards? The whole thing is elitist and stupid imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehanyo 4,251 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 This is misleading. A lot of people don't watch live broadcasts anymore on TV. If you go to YouTube, ALL of the top trending videos are from the Grammys, each with millions of views. Those are monetized and have commercials and worth nearly as much as the live TV ratings. Also, Live+3 and Live+7 are DVR metrics that haven't been considered yet (and didn't exist in 2008 either). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but you don't lost THAT much organically. No shows do. Obviously it's because of something else. Either a boycott or the pandemic. It was bound to decrease in ratings but not this much. Award shows lose 2-4 million each year, not a billion views in the span of 12 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresco 1,688 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Nielson did not count my viewing. I watched a local cbs channel broadcast over hdtv airwaves. There is no box on my tv to count my viewing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no box on my tv to count my viewing. I don't know if you're joking or not, but if you're not, this is not how it works. They don't need a box in every house to know how many people watched a TV show, just like polling organizations don't need to ask every person in the country who they'll vote for to know how many votes each candidate will receive.

zakariah 11,718 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 i don’t think we should measure award shows by ratings anymore tbh most of the information is on other forms of social media, mainly twitter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenWonder 4,282 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I watched it and actually liked it. It was cool seeing Harry watch Billie play a song. That said, and I could be wrong, but I wonder if not having the red carpet hurt ratings. It's not my bag, but tons of people watch these shows just for the fashion.

Gaga brings attentions and views and those are facts. Even after all these years, people are still looking forward to see what she will wear next, or what she'll do in her next performance. A tricon.

old sanuk 361 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I watched some, saw a few stars and a lotta wannabes. I like the fashion, the staging, but where’s the music? I’m awaiting the arrival of the next undeniably talented musician/performer Superstar, who will sellout venues & stadiums for decades to come; not here yet, I guess.
