@Lucas_Shaw 💯 understand why they want me to stare at my phone when I’m using Spotify. Problem (for them) is I have zero interest in that. — PolitiTweet.org

@ChrisErb @michaelpachter @benedictevans Sure! But again, ads vs recurring subs makes it hard to fully tease it out. — PolitiTweet.org

@ChrisErb @michaelpachter As always with these metrics you need to compare apples. But yeah, mr beast generates a lot of eyeballs. Via @benedictevans https://t.co/N1IiH399pZ — PolitiTweet.org

@michaelpachter Meanwhile the novelty generates ton of press and word of mouth, and everyone else can catch up later. — PolitiTweet.org

@michaelpachter I think they definitely have the capacity to do not-quite-one-off events like this. Not much downside for them: unlike broadcast/cable, if you didn’t want to watch Chris Rock on Netflix that night you could watch Sex/Life 2 or whatever. — PolitiTweet.org

And people seem to be watching it on demand now: https://t.co/EdRoPVB5l7 — PolitiTweet.org

@trevorcroker I’d be surprised if it was stressed - streamers have done pretty high volume live stuff before. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Special went up at 10pm et on March 5 - the last day of this ratings period. And at least for me, wasn’t immediately available for on-demand viewing. So while we don’t actualy know anything, decent conjecture that a lot of folks really did watch this thing live Saturday night. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Correction/amendment: Netflix helpfully points out that the Chris Rock special *did* break its top 10 in the US. Chart I previously flagged was global - and unlike the US one, tallies total viewing hours. https://t.co/SjkLYF09JQ — PolitiTweet.org

@michaelpachter Assuming if Netflix had a whopper live number it would share it. — PolitiTweet.org

@RonWechsler @loudmouthjulia Will be very interesting test of “news” vs “things people actually watch” — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Chris Rock’s live special does not crack Netflix’s weekly Top 10, which is also not a surprise, as @loudmouthjulia explained the other day. It was only available for viewing for a few hours in the ratings period. Meanwhile Netflix viewers flocked to soap operas, reality shows. https://t.co/zzrz1CZ5td — PolitiTweet.org

@jamesakoester The stock market no longer gives you credit for subs alone. And in any case 50mm is considered sub scale vs Netflix, Disney and even HBO — PolitiTweet.org
