I think transparency is better for everyone apart from the providors, but what constitutes a view? should we just have minutes watched? should each episode of a series have it's own statistic (that would be a good analytic for drop offs)?
We've come from eras that extrapolated figures for viewers from a sample size, to an era where they know exactly how many people watch their content, on what device, where, and for exactly how long.
Yet, surprisingly they're cagey about the numbers.
So it's no surprise that they feel good about the numbers.
