Good thinking. So we could add:
- social media mentions
-
of [new] subscribers who [first/]only watch/binge a given show
Comment on How many views does a Netflix show need to have to be considered a success?

It’s more than just views. It’s rewatches, binge watches, complete vs interrupted episode watches, probably even time skips.
Likely also where the view comes from, like a specific search vs general recommendations vs targeted recommendations

And probably how many subscriptions they gained in that period

If you think about it, Netflix doesn’t get paid by the view, they get paid by the subscription. So the ideal Netflix show is one which is desirable enough to draw in and retain subscribers while being cheap to produce. Whether or not people actually watch the show is irrelevant to them. If it gets people in the door it’s a winner.

Not in the ad tiered option anymore, for that one they do need actual watchtime
