2019.02.22 - Killstream: #TimesUp
It's time for another round of viewer analytics! Tonight I accidentally fell asleep through the stream, so I can't comment on the quality of the stream, but loading up the graph doesn't instill any confidence in me that it was good.
START & PEAK
Actually caught the start today, and just as I had expected, the start of the show is basically right when peak viewership occurs. I suspect it's mostly comprised of viewers tuning in to see what the show is about and whether it's worth the watch or not. Looking at the peak, tonight's show hit an all time low of 1,500 viewers, and even that didn't last long. As we see a sharp drop in users immediately after.

OVERVIEW

Noteworthy mention - the graph after 10:30pm uses a wider scale. That's due to a weird issue with how I was managing data memory. So where it looks like the view count levels out, it's just using a shorter time scale.
That said, there is a large notable drop in user after peak viewership. Followed by a steady constant drop in viewers after 8:30pm. There appear to be a small surge in users around 9:30pm, followed by another large drop in users around 10:30pm (wow, nearly a 4 hour show tonight?). The last 30 minutes of the show continues to show a steady drop in users to just over 800 users as the show comes to an end.
Since that time scale is a little messed up, I have another graph that is smaller, but at least has a linear scale (though it's interesting to note how easily graphs and data can be distorted).

This chart really shows how the TRR just
bleeds viewers all night long. Past 10PM, that last 30 minutes is a drop of 200 viewers. 9:30-10pm is probably the strongest the show looks where there is a slight increase of viewers,
right before the drop off.
CONCLUSION
Overall, this was a
really bad show. One of the worst view counts,
awful viewer retention (I'm not even sure you can call this "retention" when you bleed that many viewers), and no Dame Pesos.
If you didn't think The Killstream was dying before, you might want to start rethinking that opinion. This was a show that easily pulled 6k+ before, would regularly hit 2k+ for months after switching to streamme, but is now heading to a point where 2k viewers is a
good night.
We're steadily approaching Kumite 2.0. Jim's done with the show aside from a few side remarks and jabs at them here and there, and we're seeing history repeat itself.
And let's look back at the Jim viewership graph from the other morning. This is a prime example of what a good show should look like. Strong viewership retention, slowly increasing viewership, and practically no drops in viewers. Even Zoom's show the other day had stronger analytics.
Without new viewers to pull in, and bleeding more viewers every night, I see no possible way for the Killstream to make a comeback. Time's up, and it's only a matter of time until the only remaining viewers are cat ladies. Ralph is burning bridges (CRP, Josh, random ex-fans like myself,
@KOVALSKY, Murderder, etc.) and his actions just show that he truly is still the same person he was years ago.
That concludes this week in autism. I'll be back Monday with more graphs.
