You’ve obviously never heard of the Nelson rating system. They very much insult boxes on top of people’s TVs that were known as Nelson family’s to actually watch their viewing habits and track it. And then they were able to estimate based on the number of TVs sold in that area what was being viewed.

Its a bit different from opting into being a nelson family vs obfuscating opting you in automatically and recording all of your TV watching
