I mean... ok?

Are we just supposed to assume that is what this article is talking about? That is not mentioned anywhere explicitly in the article.

Also, the actual continuation rate, to my knowledge, has never been released... anywhere, ever, for AAA, possibly any MCU show.

A few weeks ago, I attempted to actually determine what it was, here's me quoting myself from another thread:

As far as week to week continuation goes, Agatha All Along dropped about 1/3 of viewed minutes from 304 million viewed minutes from Sep 20 - Sept 26, to 204 million viewed minutes during Sept 27 to Oct 3.

So... apparently a 30 ish % weekly drop off is the best of any Marvel show.

Granted, I don't have access to more recent, or more thorough data for the whole season or the the industry in general...

... but you can see from my old snapshots that the first season of Tusla King Season 1 had better continuation than AAA, shortly after AAA and Tulsa King Season 2 premiered.

EDIT: Yeah I checked...

https://variety.com/h/most-watched-streaming-originals-movies-tv-shows/

This is where I got that data above, 3 weeks ago.

It updates weekly, and its just a small snippet of what you can pay a large chunk of money to get the full data... but I don't have an extra monthly rent's worth of money a month to pay for where Variety gets it from.

Anyway, you may notice that AAA ... doesn't even show up in the top 10 anymore.

EDIT 2:

... which would suggest the total viewed minutes this week is under 266 million minutes.

AAA was already under 210 million viewed minutes 3 weeks ago.

... In summary, they won't release any actual numbers, with any context, to prove how successful or not a show is... and now they've just switched to a new metric, which also has never been released, and said 'now this is the important number!'.
