• Why do average viewers and hours watched tell different stories?

  Hours watched grows with how long people stay and how long streams run, so a long-running category can beat a busier one. Average viewers ignores duration and shows how crowded the streams are at any given moment. A month can gain hours while losing viewers, and the table above shows both side by side.
