In the era of streaming, where companies like Netflix share hardly any details of their viewing numbers, I like to use the number of ratings a show has on IMDB to estimate how many views it likely has. I’d imagine about 5% of viewers rate any given show, so 50k ratings would mean roughly 1 million views.
Does this sound realistic? Are there better ways of estimating how well a show is doing on streaming services?
