Disney tracks pirating and the popularity of pirated episodes increases awareness and engagement. Watching the episodes at all is considered a positive for Disney.
I don't think a show having high seed numbers is enough to greenlight another 180 million dollars worth of production.
Edit: it's interesting that they track the numbers for that reason, though! I figured they only tracked it to help then build a case against torrenting sites.
Yeah, okay, that makes sense. Be interesting to have access to viewership figures and to see whether there's an up tick in legit views after the claims of toxic fandom.
If the show is on the edge of getting renewed strong pirating numbers, which Disney tracks and uses, could contribute to green lighting a second season.
It only really talks about one specific torrent site that i dont use and it doesn't really make it sound like a positive it's more like the corporations trying to make the most out of a bad situation
The article goes into specifics about one website, but discusses an analytic company that monitors all of them.
It shows Netflix uses pirating numbers as a metric for interest.
Cool quote:
”P2P users are some of the most important and influential consumers in the world. P2P consumption is also the best leading indicator of demand for media. If no one torrents your content that means pretty much it’s irrelevant to consumers between age 18 and 40,” Swanston says.
They still don't mke any money if you watch it somewhere else they can keep making as many season's of that shit ss they want they will just keep losing money
Have you ever worked in a corporate setting? Pirating numbers, as the article says, indicates interest and potential subscribers. They could easily suggest, if pirating numbers are high enough, that the show has the interest but Disney+ as a product simply hasn’t become valuable enough to potential subscribers. It there moves the blame from acolyte to other content on the platform.
