So, There Has Been Some Talk About How A Show Like The Acolyte Can Have A Viewership Rating Of 11 Million

So, there has been some talk about how a show like the Acolyte can have a viewership rating of 11 million in a week and is considered a failure while a show like HBO’s the Penquin can have barely half of that and is proclaimed a success. As far as I know, the Acolyte has still been able to do quite well, even in the wake of its cancellation. The show has managed to hit some major top ten lists and is still up there on Disney+ list of most watched. Or, last I knew anyway, it’s possible that might have changed, as is inevitable. But, I have to ask myself, what is it exactly do streaming platforms want out of their audiences? This goes for Netflix and Amazon as well. As an audience member for the Acolyte, I watched the show, I geeked out over it on line and I did my best to contribute to its trending by using the appropriate hashtags. I know I wasn’t alone in all of that. Yet the show is cancelled anyway. Yet these platforms still want our attention. But how can platforms still expect our attention when, speaking for myself, I am more disinclined than ever to get invested in any new media, especially Star Wars. I have no plans the watch Skeleton Crew nor do I care for any future movies. If Acolyte had not been cancelled, I would have been willing to, at the very least, give any future projects a fair shake. That’s all I’m really trying to say. Everyone, have a good night.
