How the heck is the only website that gathers and posts these ratings somehow making 0 profit doing it?

Because everyone who uses those numbers to make actual business decisions get them from other sources.

Presumably the industry people who actually need them already get them somewhere else, so the real question is how did what seems to basically just be a fan site for tv ratings geeks stay alive so long if it costs so much to run?

Wait so that big chart of ratings we always see has just been some rando website putting it together every week?

It was founded by some ex tv execs, and their company twitter has like 2k followers.

They are almost certainly just republishing whatever Nielsen sends out.

That's pretty crazy, I don't know why I just assumed that Nielson sent those out every week and sites just reported it.

No, it costs tens of thousands of dollars to get access to Nielsen ratings (less if you just want it for a specific show)

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Not sure if tv works the same way, but Nielsen sells their numbers directly to the companies who use them for radio and there are provisions in those contracts that prevent you from giving the specific numbers to people who aren’t paying for them. They occasionally do presentations with public facing info but a lot of the nitty gritty is paywalled.

I’m guessing these guys were either getting them under the table from someone in the industry, or were paying for them from Nielsen which costs a ton.

turn it all around

I always thought it was weird that Showbuzz was the ONLY place that seemed to publish that chart and also assumed it was just a chart sent out to *whoever* and once it got sent out, they'd just make a blog post with it.

Also, this tweet sounds weird:
https://mobile.twitter.com/ShowBuzzDaily/status/1396870897357656072

It makes it sound like someone has a hold of their databases and isn't giving it back without X amount of money or something? Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it, or they're referring to databases and content in a different way than I'm thinking about databases and content.

Reading through the tweet chain my own assumption is some sort of catastrophic failure and they're not sure if they have the data or not.

Or that they no longer have whoever the source was and the whole thing is done.

having dealt with several catastrophic crashes with Wordpress(don't loving use it), I can only assume they were running a self hosted instance and got ransomware'd. Or their goofy theme hosed everything up. Seriously, Wordpress is garbo. Its a diceroll everytime you migrate or update something.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
