To be fair, it's really dumb that networks still rely on them as much as they do.

Nielsen ratings don't capture streaming and if this person was a Nielsen participant I'm pretty sure they only count it as one household no matter how many TV's are on.
I think streaming devices can also collect data if you didn't opt out of it. So you may not need to be a traditional Nielson house to get counted anymore. Roku is one example.Its done through Nielsen's boxes that they offer to people to install in their homes to track what they watch. And I think they flesh it out with further surveys. It's an imperfect system but tons of advertisers take it super seriously.

NoSerious question, has there been any other presidential campaign that's been so eye-rollingly unprofessional about things like debates and town halls? I was only really old enough to pay serious attention to politics in the 2008 election, but I can't remember the Obama, McCain, Romney, or Clinton campaigns declaring "We WON and EVERYONE KNOWS IT" like the Trump campaign does any time he does anything. It's some seriously pathetic shit.

I think people maybe have had enough of train wreck. They've had train wreck for the last four years.I'm surprised but please from a .. petty point of view. I figured the train wreck of Trump would get more eyeballs, but glad just because of how much this means to him.
I don't think Trump will believe this, though. He still believes he won the first debate, like genuinely believes it. He genuinely believes his inauguration crowds were the largest ever.

Yup partnership from 2018, along with a lot of other metering companies. The rapid dumping of cable and adoption of digital streaming devices created a lucrative opportunity for them, I'm sure.

Absolutely notTo be fair, I think Trump's main goal was to detract as many as he could..10mil? Seems good.
His ratings on TV have always been his personal barometer of success that he would flaunt the most because he thought it was undeniable proof that he was popular.If there was a story like this for Trump getting higher ratings he would tweet it and proclaim how great he is in a heartbeat.
You are right. Back before I had gotten married, my ex gf and her two kids plus myself all recieved these little beeper like devices that we were to carry on our person at all times. This was used to monitor our media habits, and we also filled out a questionnaire weekly online. It was any easy $200+ bucks to participate.I think streaming devices can also collect data if you didn't opt out of it. So you may not need to be a traditional Nielson house to get counted anymore.

He'll claim that "online views" made him have millions more, then capitalize some short declaration.
There were already some signs last night that the Biden session might prove more popular, as the ABC telecast accrued more viewers than its rival on the live YouTube stream.
Interesting, thanks for the insight. So it wasn't just Nielsen drops the box off and your part is done? You had to actively participate too?In some markets it's conducted by something that looks like a beeper from the 90s and each person above I want to say 7 gets one, so everyone is tracked. The broadcasts emit signals that are picked up by it.
Source- we were a neilsen family in 2019. It just became too obnoxious to keep track of the meter especially for my wife and then 8 year old.

I didn't say it would be truthful, just that he'd say it.As far as Youtube is concerned, Biden pulled more viewers than Trump online as well:
