I see that the ardent viewers (On IF/FB/Twitter everywhere and I am not talking of any single person specifically) are requesting everyone to watch the show on television to help in ratings. Fair enough, I can understand that. That sad feeling when a show you love, comes to an end. Have been there, done that.
As a viewer, I have a choice as to what medium I use to watch a show and at what time I will, depending on my convenience.
Viewers reasoning that the ratings go down due to hotstar. Isn't the channel aware of this? They are only uploading it in Indian time.
The channels don't have a problem. About their intervention to pull any show off-air, there is no dearth of stories or new production houses. They will continue to experiment with all stories that they THINK will fetch them money.
The "TRP Aunties" is large misconception as a thought. As far as my understanding goes, the ratings meter are only placed in few handful of homes. Its been a topic of debate for a decade now. It does not reflect the actual numbers.
The methods of calculating the ratings should change. For that, the makers and the crew involved in production of shows should also believe that the ratings are skewed. If in spite of the popularity of their respective shows, they have to take it up with the concerned authorities. Afterall they have membership...the kinds like television artistes association or whatsoever.
The actors and technical team are the ones suffering due to this disparity. Its hard to find work. There are lakhs of people dreaming about success in Mumbai in the entertainment industry. They can take efforts at their end by uniting against the issue. After all, its their bread and butter.
The artistes and technical crew and the producers pumping money can take it up with the I and B ministry as a collective voice. That's provided they too feel that the ratings don't reflect the popularity their show enjoys. Its a digital era. If they don't respect their own viewers/fanbase, there is hardly anything a viewer can do.
If producers and makers continue with their Baba Adam ke zamane ka technicalities, they will have to deal with this forever.
NOTE:
Please keep all the discussions(If Any) civil. Please respond in a civilized manner.
Kindly avoid discussing fandoms of characters/actors.
Kindly respond in relation to the content of the post.
Cheers!!!
